Quick Start

Installation

To use the admin we first need to install it as part of our environment.

git clone https://github.com/Luxoft/qml-coreui.git
cd qml-coreui
pip install .

Setting up QtAuto Stack

The simplest start is to use an existing Qt SDK (e.g. 5.13 incl. Qt Remote Objects TP) and build of QtAuto components. This is a great start to the creation of a new user interface for systems.

Create a project directory

mkdir coreui && cd coreui

Write the config file coreui.yml

coreui-admin init

Configure qmake to use existing Qt5 SDK

coreui-admin config qmake <path/to/qmake>

Clone QtAuto source repositories

coreui-admin clone auto

Build all QtAuto repositories

coreui-admin build auto

Note: Please make sure that all coreui components are successfully configured.

Now we can start the QtAuto reference user interface called Neptune3 UI.

coreui-admin start

The script was automatically registered while building the QtAuto repositories.

Setting up a new CoreUI project

Now we can create the single-process UI

coreui-admin new myproject
cd myproject

We first let the admin know where the existing Qt SDK is located. For this, we point it to the qmake executable for the SDK.

coreui-admin config qmake <path/to/qmake>

We can launch the UI using the start script, which was registered by the project generator.

coreui-admin start

To develop with the newly created UI you can open QtCreator and open the myproject/myproject.qmlproject project.
