documentation on how to build + run this locally

Any chance we could get some documentation on how to get up and running with this repo?
Currently trying to get this shell building + running on my Ubuntu 21.10 install, but running into issues.
I'm not too familiar with Qt either.

Rough steps I've had to take so far:

  • install a bunch of qt packages
  • comment out backlight init code - was segfaulting
  • change DISPLAY variable in main.cpp to :1
  • compilation fails when following the adblocker steps, so build without
  • change the path to shell.qml

Still missing a few steps though. I can get it to run, but now it throws a bunch of messages about missing modules that I have installed.
Guessing I need to find where they're at in my system and copy them somewhere else, change some import path variable, or similar.
