+ *Note*: The Qt 5.9.7 or newer requirement makes **some** distributions (mostly based on debian, like Ubuntu 16.x or Linux Mint 18.x) obsolete due to their repositories containing an older Qt version.
The recommended way is to install 5.9.7 from the [official Qt installer](https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer) or [compiling it yourself](https://wiki.qt.io/Install_Qt_5_on_Ubuntu). This ensures you have the correct version. Higher versions *can* work but as it differs from our production build target, slight differences may occur.
