Installing ArahWeave Demo on Linux

Preface

ArahWeave and ArahDrape are designed to be compatible with the majority of modern Linux desktop operating systems. ArahPaint6 is, however, only supported with Kde-based Linux distributions by default.
To use ArahPaint6 on desktops other than KDE, such as GNOME (the default on Ubuntu), install two packages: libpoppler-qt5-1 and libqt5x11extras5-dev.
On Debian-based systems such as Ubuntu, run the following commands to install these two packages:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install libpoppler-qt5-1
sudo apt-get -y install libqt5x11extras5-dev
