## License
GPLv3. See [COPYING](COPYING).
## How to build
**Warning**: building Shotcut should only be reserved to beta testers or contributors who know what they are doing.
### Qt Creator
The fastest way to build and try Shotcut development version is through [Qt Creator](https://www.qt.io/download#qt-creator).
### From command line
First, check dependencies are satisfied and various paths are correctly set to find different libraries and include files (Qt 5, MLT, frei0r and so forth).
#### Configure
In a new directory in which to make the build (separate from the source):
```
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/ /path/to/shotcut
```
We recommend using the Ninja generator by adding `-GNinja` to the above command line.
#### Build
```
cmake --build .
```
#### Install
If you do not install, Shotcut may fail when you run it because it cannot locate its QML
files that it reads at run-time.
```
cmake --install .
```
