## Installation
* Open in Qt Creator and build
* Build and install [patchelf](https://nixos.org/patchelf.html) (a small utility to modify the dynamic linker and RPATH of ELF executables; similar to `install_name_tool` on macOS). To learn more about this, see http://blog.qt.io/blog/2011/10/28/rpath-and-runpath/
* Download [AppImageAssistant](https://github.com/probonopd/AppImagaeKit/releases) and put it into your $PATH, e.g., into `/usr/local/bin`. Make sure it is renamed to `AppImageAssistant` and is `chmod a+x`
