QPixel is a graphical tool used to analyze and manipulate bitmap images. This tutorial will guide you through the steps of installing QPixel on the latest version of Debian.
Before we start the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Use the following command to update the package list on your Debian system:
sudo apt update
Then, upgrade already installed packages by running the command:
sudo apt upgrade
You can also upgrade to a newer version of Debian by running the command:

The following dependencies must be installed on your system in order to run QPixel:
Install them by running the following command:
sudo apt install git cmake libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libpng-dev libboost-program-options-dev libgflags-dev libjpeg-dev
Use the following command to clone the QPixel repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/codidact/qpixel.git
Change directory to QPixel's source code directory with the command:
cd qpixel
Create a new build directory using CMake:

This will copy the program and the necessary files to your system.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed QPixel on your Debian system.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
