Now we've got a full build of Qt Creator! 🎉

We  can start <code>./qtcreator-install/bin/qtcreator</code> to open the <code>repo/CMakeLists.txt</code> project and load the build that we've currently made 😊

If the CMake configure process is complaining about something, just use <code>apt-file search <file></code> to locate the package that needs to be installed.
