make install

Command Explanations

-D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON: This switch makes cmake remove hardcoded library search paths (rpath) when installing a binary executable file or a shared library. This package does not need rpath once it's installed into the standard location, and rpath may sometimes cause unwanted effects or even security issues.

-D ENABLE_OPENCC=OFF: This switch disables building the chttrans utility, which requires OpenCC and Boost. Remove it if you have installed them.

-D ENABLE_BROWSER=OFF: This switch disables building the built-in browser, which requires QtWebEngine. Remove it if you have installed it.

-D ENABLE_CLOUDPINYIN=OFF: This switch disables building the cloud pinyin addon, which requires cURL. Remove it if you have installed it.
