How to install wfview without building yourself on selected linux versions

We understand that downloading sources with git, selecting branches and building yourself may a bit daunting. In the future we may at some point start distributing packages and/or images like appimage, flatpack. snap.

Instructions how to use this w/o building yourself. We are using a precompiled version that has been tested on a few different versions of linux in alphabetical order. Note that all are click-click-next-next-finish installs.

not supported:

centos7 -- no qt support debian 10 -- outdated devuan 3.1.1.1 -- outdated redhat7 -- no qt support

Debian 11  (Debian 10 is outdated)
Fedora 33
Fedora 34
mint 20.1 (and up?)
openSUSE 15.x
openSUSE Tumbleweed
SLES 15.x
Ubuntu 20.04.2 and up (?)

for all, the following is applicable:

download the tar.gz file here: https://wfview.org/download/test-linux-build/ 

the file below will unpack in ./dist

tar zxvf wfview-linux.tar.gz        (change the filename accordingly)          
cd dist
sudo ./install.sh

this will install the binary and a few other files to your system.

Now for the system specifics; pick your version:

Debian 11:

sudo apt install libqcustomplot2.0 libqt5multimedia5 libqt5serialport5
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libqcustomplot.so.2.0.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libqcustomplot.so.2
wfview

Fedora 33/34:

sudo dnf install qcustomplot-qt5 qt5-qtmultimedia qt5-qtserialport
sudo ln  -s  /usr/lib64/libqcustomplot-qt5.so.2 /usr/lib64/libqcustomplot.so.2
wfview

Mint 20.1
