Once qBittorrent is built, you can run it straight from the build directory.
Once qBittorrent is built, you can run it straight from the build directory. Documentation about running qBittorrent without GUI is available [here](https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/Running-qBittorrent-without-X-server-(WebUI-only)).
If you want to install it to the prefix chosen at configure-time, simply do `sudo cmake install`, which will generate an `install_manifest.txt` file in the build folder that can later be used to uninstall all the installed files with `sudo xargs rm < install_manifest.txt`.
## Installing (optional)
Alternatively, use `checkinstall`, which will generate and install a `.deb` package that can be tracked and managed by your package manager: `bash
sudo checkinstall --nodoc --backup=no --deldesc --pkgname qbittorrent --pkgversion 4.x.x-source-compile # change the version to your liking
`.

```
sudo cmake --install build

This will generate an `install_manifest.txt` file in the build folder that can later be used to uninstall all the installed files with `sudo xargs rm < install_manifest.txt`. To override the installation prefix at install-time, pass `--prefix <install_prefix>`.
Patches are welcome to implement Debian package generation with CPack.
