Hi and welcome to devnet,

The documentation you link explains the steps required to build and install the module. What are your issues ?

Thanks for your answer. I want to use Frame Timer Control for Windows Test-Application to display some frame rate. For using Frame Timer I need to import QtApplicationManager 1.0 (https://doc.qt.io/QtApplicationManager-5.15/qml-qtapplicationmanager-frametimer.html). But I receive an error that it is not install! How can I install it and solve this error?

As @SGaist already wrote: "The documentation you link explains the steps required to build and install the module".
So, did you try to follow documentation?

Samira2

yes but it is not clear for me!! I am new in qml

@Samira2 Then you should explain what exactly is not clear.

Hello,

according to the documentation, the Application Manager must be compiled in some way:
https://doc.qt.io/QtApplicationManager-5.15/installation.html#build
but it is not clear where you can get the sources.

I guess its from the GitHub https://github.com/qt/qtapplicationmanager. Am I right?

regards,
Tobias

from https://doc.qt.io/QtApplicationManager-5.15/introduction.html
"The Qt Application Manager is a daemon that helps you to create embedded Linux systems that have a highly complex UI setup, which you can optionally split into a multi-process setup to increase flexibility and stability."

Is it for Embedded Linux only?

@Tobias-Fensch From the installation documentation you linked earlier:

Installation

Supported Platforms

The application manager is tested regularly on multiple platforms.

The following platforms are only supported for development and testing purposes. In addition these platforms only allow the application manager to work in single-process mode:

Windows
macOS
Android (the application manager cannot be deployed directly, but only as part of an Android APK package containing the System UI)
These platforms can be used for development and production and will allow you to use the full feature set of the application manager:

Linux desktop and embedded in single-process and multi-process mode
Note: In multi-process mode, only the Intel, AMD (open source), and VMWare graphics drivers are supported due to the varying stability levels in Wayland drivers. While other drivers may work, they require either special QtWayland versions or specific firmware blobs for the GPU driver.

As for the sources, yes you can use the GitHub mirrors. Otherwise, there's https://code.qt.io
