Info

This material is work in progress and will change!

CoreUI is not really something to be installed. It is more an approach to write large scaled user interfaces using Qt and Qt Auto. Still there is a helper library and tools to help you getting started and which is used throughout the guide.

The tool is called coreui-admin which can be used to create new sample projects or add aspects to these projects. This tool purpose is to make the guide more compact. Instead of describing in detail how to setup a project, it is possible now just to create a project using coreui-admin new myproject.

The coreui-admin tool is a Python 3 script which can be easily installed using the standard python tooling.
