    <title>Introduction to falkon</title>

    <para>
      <application>Falkon</application> is a KDE web browser using the QtWebEngine
      rendering engine. It was previously known as <application>QupZilla</application>.
      It aims to be a lightweight web browser available through all major platforms.
    </para>

    <para>
      Although <application>falkon</application> is now part of KDE, it can be
      installed without KDE (with the loss of <application>kwallet</application>
      functionality, and of translations of the (not-installed) example
      <command>hellopython.py</command> script).

    <title>Installation of falkon</title>

    <para>
      To set the prefix to match KDE (if that has been installed), or
      else to install in <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>
      run:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>test -n "${KF5_PREFIX}" &amp;&amp; export FALKON_PREFIX=${KF5_PREFIX} ||
  export FALKON_PREFIX=/usr</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      Install <application>falkon</application> by running the following
      commands:
    </para>

    <para>
      Unless you have installed both PySide2 and ki18n, remove the translations
      for the sample <command>hellopython.py</command> script:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>rm -rf po/</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      In case you wish to run the tests, fix one of them so that it will
      work correctly with both Qt-5.10 and Qt-5.11:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>sed -i 's/"5.11.", 5) == 0 ? 1 : 2/"5.10.", 5) &gt;= 0 ? 2 : 1/' \
  autotests/webviewtest.cpp</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      Now build the program:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=$FALKON_PREFIX --disable-static &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      To test the results, issue: <command>make test</command>. All
      tests should pass. If any fail, the full results will be in
      <filename>Testing/Temporary/LastTest.log</filename>.
    </para>

    <para>
      Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
    </para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      If you have installed <application>Pyside2</application> you will want to
      examine the <command>hellopython.py</command> which is in the <filename
      class="directory">scripts/</filename> directory, and perhaps copy it to
      your home directory.

    <para>
      <command>sed -i 's/"5.11.", 5) == 0 ? 1 : 2/"5.10.", 5) &gt;= 0 ? 2 : 1/' ...</command>:
      This test previously looked for QtWebengine-5.10 which had changed its
      result compared to earlier versions. In the move to Qt-5.11 the version
      was bumped but the results were swapped. Change it to examine if the version
      is <emphasis>at least 5.10</emphasis>, and to swap the expected results back.
