Requirements

QtEDM requires the following:

• Qt – Qt6 is preferred; Qt5 is supported as a fallback. Core, Widgets, Print Support, SVG, Network, and the matching moc/rcc development tools are required.
• EPICS Base – Version 7.0 or later, with Channel Access support
• SDDS source tree – Required for the shared support libraries and SDDS plot export
• C++17 compiler – A compiler supported by the selected Qt and EPICS builds
• pkg-config – Used to detect Qt on Linux and macOS

QtEDM builds natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows when the platform Qt, EPICS Base, SDDS, and compiler dependencies are installed. X11 is not required for normal QtEDM operation; the -attach and -cleanup single-instance request options are available only when Qt uses the X11 xcb platform.
