-====== Get & compile the latest version ======
+====== Version v3.11.0 or more recent ======
+==== Debian/Ubuntu/Mint ====
+Tested on Ubuntu 22.04. Unfortunately Actiona requires Qt 6.4 or more recent, so we can't use the system libraries.
+Dependencies:
+<code bash>
+sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential cmake libnotify-dev libopencv-dev libxtst-dev libglx-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxcb-cursor0 libudev-dev libbluetooth-dev libxkbcommon-dev
+</code>
+Download the [[https://www.qt.io/download-open-source|Qt online installer]] (open source edition) and install it.
+Create/Sign up to your Qt Account, choose "Custom installation".
+Install Qt 6.6.3 (Qt 6.7 is not compatible) with the following modules:
+	- Desktop
+	- Qt 5 Compatibility Module
+	- Additional Libraries
+		- Qt Multimedia
+		- Qt Speech
+Get the code.
+<code bash>
+git clone --recursive https://github.com/Jmgr/actiona.git
+</code>
+Enter the actiona directory:
+<code bash>
+cd actiona
+</code>
+Then build (you might have to replace $HOME/Qt with the path where your Qt installation resides).
+<code bash>
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/Qt/6.6.3/gcc_64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+cmake --build .
+</code>
+To run actiona, enter:
+<code bash>
+./actiona/actiona
+</code>
+===== Windows (with MinGW) =====
+  - Download and install the Qt online installer: https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer-oss (note that you will need to create an account and log in)
+    - Select Qt 6.6.3 (Actiona 3 is not compatible with newer versions at the moment)
+    - Check Qt 5 Compatibility Module
+    - In "Additional libraries":
+      - Check Qt Multimedia
+      - Check Qt Speech
+  - Install CMake: https://cmake.org/download/
+  - Install Git: https://gitforwindows.org/
+  - Download the source code for OpenCV 4.x: https://opencv.org/releases/ and extract the archive
+  - Open a Command Prompt: (update the path to Qt if you installed it somewhere else)
+<code bash>
+set PATH=C:\Qt\Tools\mingw1120_64\bin;%PATH%
+cd <OpenCV directory>
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=. -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_world=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_calib3d=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_dnn=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_features2d=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_flann=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_gapi=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_highgui=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_ml=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_objdetect=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_photo=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_stitching=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_video=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_videoio=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_imgcodecs=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_java=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_js=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_python_bindings_generator=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_ts=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_perf_core=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_perf_imgproc=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_perf_features2d=OFF -DBUILD_opencv_perf_flann=OFF ..
+cmake --build .
+</code>
+  - Open Git Bash: (and cd to the directory where you want to save the source code for Actiona)
+    - <code bash>git clone --recursive https://github.com/Jmgr/actiona.git</code>
+  - Open QtCreator:
+    - in Edit -> Preferences, check that your kits are not greyed out: if so, check that the CMake tool is set
+    - File -> Open file or project, select the CMakeLists.txt file in the Actiona source code directory
+    - Set the build type to Release (Debug builds are not currently working when using MinGW on Windows)
+    - In Projects -> CMake -> Initial Configuration, click Add on the right, then Directory.
+    - Add "OpenCV_DIR" as the key, and "<OpenCV directory>\build" as the value
+    - Click "Re-configure with Initial Parameters"
+    - In Build steps -> Details, in Tool aguments, add -j (allows compiling with more than one core)
+    - Build
+  - You should be able to run Actiona from within QtCreator now
-Please note: this is to compile actiona 3.9.0 and higher. Older versions depended on Qt 4 and are not supported anymore.
+====== Version v3.10.2 or older ======
