Kcal is a calendar app developed by KDE. In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of installing Kcal on POP!_OS, which is a Linux-based operating system.
Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T or by searching for "Terminal" in the applications menu.
Install the required dependencies, which are cmake, extra-cmake-modules, qtbase5-dev, libkf5calendarcore-dev, and libkf5calendarsupport-dev. Use the following command to install all of them:
sudo apt-get install cmake extra-cmake-modules qtbase5-dev libkf5calendarcore-dev libkf5calendarsupport-dev
Clone the Kcal repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/kcal-app/kcal.git
Change to the Kcal directory using the following command:
cd kcal
Create a build directory using the following command:
mkdir build && cd build
Generate the build files using cmake by executing the following command (replace -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr with the path where you want to install Kcal):
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
Build and install Kcal using the following command:
make && sudo make install
Start Kcal by typing the following command:
kcal
Alternatively, you can search for Kcal in the applications menu and run it from there.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kcal on POP!_OS. Now you can use it to manage your events and organize your schedule.
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!
