## Qt libraries
qBittorrent uses the Qt framework as the basis for its GUI. qBittorrent 4.2 and later requires at least Qt 5.9.
qBittorrent uses the Qt framework as the basis for its GUI.
For Debian 10, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or later and their derivatives, just install Qt from the official repositories:
- qBittorrent 4.3.x requires at least Qt 5.11.
- At the time of writing, the current `master` branch requires at least Qt 5.15.2.
Many distributions, in particular Debian, Ubuntu (especially LTS releases), and their derivatives don't provide up-to-date Qt packages in their repositories or are very slow in updating them.
In such cases, you must get them from somewhere else, such as the official installer from the [Qt website](https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer) (unfortunately, this method requires the creation of an account, but you can just use a throwaway email), or a PPA you trust in the case of Ubuntu and other distributions that support that installation method.
For Debian and Ubuntu versions that include sufficiently up-to-date Qt packages, you can just install the following packages from the official repositories:
```bash
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends qtbase5-dev qttools5-dev libqt5svg5-dev
