This document describes the necessary environment variables and steps for running and debugging applications in Plasma Mobile.
 
It is not necessary for end-users to set these. With a recent Plasma Mobile image, apps can be run from the drawer easily, however this may be useful for prospective devs working in different environments where this is not already set.
 
== Environment Setup ==
 
In order to run applications on the device, you need to set up a few environment variables:
 
 
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=KDE
export QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_WINDOWDECORATION=1
export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE
export KSCREEN_BACKEND=QScreen
export KDE_FULL_SESSION=1
export KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5
 
=== Manually starting the Plasma shell (or applications)===
 
If you want to run the Plasma phone shell, do
 
 
export $(dbus-launch)
exec /usr/bin/plasmashell -p org.kde.plasma.phone
 
If kded5 has crashed, you may have to start it manually:
 
 
/usr/bin/kded5 &
 
== Debugging Applications ==
 
* installation of debug packages and gdb
