### Installing Qt using the installer
### Building from command line
You need a source folder, a build folder and an install folder.
Let's say you want everything in `~/MultiMC/`:
```
# make all the folders
mkdir ~/MultiMC && cd ~/MultiMC
mkdir build
mkdir install
# clone the complete source
git clone --recursive git@github.com:MultiMC/MultiMC5.git src
# configure the project
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install ../src
# build & install (use -j with the number of cores your CPU has)
make -j8 install
```
