2.sudo apt install build-essential qmlscene qt5-qmake qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects qml-module-qtquick-dialogs qml-module-qtquick-localstorage qml-module-qtquick-window2 qml-module-qt-labs-settings qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel

secondly, compile it (it takes about 30 minutes):
3.cd ~
4.git clone --recursive https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term.git
5.cd cool-retro-term
6.git reset --hard dac2b4
7.qmake && make

Awesome! Worked great!

If you want to have it start from the Applications menu, do this from the cool-retro-term directory:

sudo cp cool-retro-term.desktop /usr/share/applications

If you get the error

E: Package 'qt5-default' has no installation candidate

it is because Ubuntu 21.04 no longer has a qt5-default packageā€”it was removed from Debian bullseye, which Ubuntu 21.04 was based on. Instead, use this command to install the needed packages:

sudo apt install build-essential qmlscene qt5-qmake qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects qml-module-qtquick-dialogs qml-module-qtquick-localstorage qml-module-qtquick-window2 qml-module-qt-labs-settings qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools

Iā€™m sorry but can we discuss that amazing pouch you got going on there? Is this DIY?
