+# Compiling
+
+## Creating qbs configuration
+Before you can build anything with qbs, you need to set up the compiler
+toolchain as well as Qt.
+
+```
+qbs setup-toolchains --detect
+qbs setup-qt /usr/bin/qmake-qt5 qt5
+```
+
+
+## Compiling
+
+* Create a build folder
+```
+[smolbote repo]$ mkdir ../build
+```
+
+* Run qbs
+```
+[smolbote repo]$ qbs build -d ../build profile:qt5 release
+```
+This installs the files to ../build/release/install-root.
+
+* Run
+```
+[smolbote repo]$ qbs run -d ../build -p poi profile:qt5 release
+```
+
