Build Stremio for Debian GNU/Linux

These instructions have been tested in Debian Buster (Testing)

1. Start by cloning the GIT repository:

git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 git://github.com/Stremio/stremio-shell.git

2. Install QTCreator

sudo apt-get install qtcreator qt5-qmake qt5-default g++ pkgconf libssl-dev

3. Generate the Makefiles for Stremio

cd stremio-shell

qmake

3.1 Install missing dependencies

If you see this message:

Info: creating stash file /home/mendezr/development/misc/stremio-shell/.qmake.stash
Project ERROR: mpv development package not found

Then you need to install the development package for mpv (movie player)

sudo apt-get install libmpv-dev

If you see this message:

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: qml quick webengine

Then install: sudo apt-get install libqt5webview5-dev

If you find: Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webengine

Then install:

sudo apt-get install libkf5webengineviewer-dev

4. Compile Stremio:

$ make

This will create the `stremio' binary.

5. Prepare the streaming server

Upon running the ./stremio binary, stremio should start up as usual. Except it won't start the streaming server, for this you need to have NodeJS installed and server.js, stremio.asar in your working dir, for which you need to do:

wget https://dl.strem.io/four/v4.4.111/server.js ; wget https://dl.strem.io/four/v4.4.111/stremio.asar

6. Install other dependencies

If you get this messages:

$ ./stremio
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/main.qml:3 module "QtWebChannel" is not installed
qrc:/main.qml:2 module "QtWebEngine" is not installed
qrc:/main.qml:12 module "Qt.labs.platform" is not installed
qrc:/main.qml:3 module "QtWebChannel" is not installed
qrc:/main.qml:2 module "QtWebEngine" is not installed
qrc:/main.qml:12 module "Qt.labs.platform" is not installed
qrc:/main.qml:3 module "QtWebChannel" is not installed
qrc:/main.qml:2 module "QtWebEngine" is not installed
qrc:/main.qml:12 module "Qt.labs.platform" is not installed

That means you need to install:

sudo apt-get install qml-module-qtwebchannel qml-module-qt-labs-platform qml-module-qtwebengine qml-module-qtquick-dialogs qml-module-qtquick-controls qtdeclarative5-dev

Now you should be able to run it normally.

7. Run the streaming server

In one terminal you can execute:

node server.js

8. Run Stremio

./stremio

It can appear a popup window stating:

Error while starting streaming server. Please consider re-installing Stremio from https://www.stremio.com

However the system will be able to work normally. Cheers!
