Installation:

First of all unpack the archive to any location and change to the unpacked folder.

Qemulator comes with his own simple graphical installer. Just run setup.py to launch it. For now the installer
don't perform any dependency check in a direct way, but in a indirect way it does: The installer nearly 
depends on the same libraries as Qemulator itself, so if the installer runs properly, Qemulator should also.

Installation with the installer is very simple. Run setup.py and follow the installation steps:


1. Decide if you want to install, update or uninstall Qemulator

2. Choose the base prefix path under which Qemulator will be installed (usually the default "/usr/local" should work fine on most systems)

3. Hit install. If you run the installer as normal user you will be asked for the sudo password. Depending on your system configuration
   this is the root password or your user password.
   
Attention: On some systems (with restrictive sudo settings) installation as normal user may break. 
In this case run the installer as root and everything should succeed.
   

After installation has finished, you can launch qemulator with the command "qemulator" or use the startmenu entry(s).

Setup will hang on some systems that don't use sudo or only use it with very restricted rights. In this case just run the installer as root.

For testing without installation just unpack the whole directory to any location and launch qemulator.sh.

In all cases on first run, Qemulator will create the new folder ".qemulator" in current users home directory. In this location all user dependent
configuration data will be stored. On uninstall this folder will not be removed, so if you reinstall Qemulator again, your last configuration is still
available.
