Qt Creator is a cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) which is part of the SDK for the Qt GUI Application development framework.

This tutorial was validated under a Linux Mint 17.2 distribution. 

First you will need to install Qt Creator and the CMake plugin.
Make sure that you already have CMake installed then run this command in a terminal: 

{{{
sudo apt-get install qtcreator qtcreator-plugin-cmake
}}}

== Import Pacpus project into Qt Creator == 

To import a Pacpus project, open the CMakeList.txt file in Qt Creator. Choose the default Desktop configuration and specify a build directory and hit the "Configure Project" button.

If the environment variable PACPUS_ROOT is not set, you have to do it manually. In the "Projects" window, you can manually add variables to the system environment.
