+# How to install wfview

+### 1. Install prerequisites:

+sudo apt-get install qt5-default
+sudo apt-get install libqt5core5a
+sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev

+sudo apt-get install libqcustomplot1.3 libqcustomplot-doc libqcustomplot-dev
+sudo apt-get install git 
+~~~
+optional for those that want to work on the code using the QT Creator IDE: 
+~~~
+sudo apt-get install qtcreator qtcreator-doc
+~~~
+
+### 2. Clone wfview to a local directory on your computer:
+~~~ 
+cd ~/Documents
+git clone https://gitlab.com/eliggett/wfview.git

+
+### 3. Create a build directory, compile, and install:
+~~~

+make -j
+sudo ./install.sh
+~~~
