Welcome to Marble, a virtual globe and world atlas that runs on Linux, Windows, MacOS and Android. Find your way and explore the world! :-)

To complete this task you have to compile the Marble source code on a Linux machine, install it and run bin/marble-qt. Upload a screenshot of the application with the About dialog opened to show that you completed all steps.

Detailed instructions:

• Make sure you have a Linux system running. If you are running a different operating system (e.g. Windows), you can use VirtualBox and install e.g. Kubuntu 16.10 in it.
• Install development packages: GCC, Git, CMake, Qt
• Follow marble.kde.org to compile and install the development version of Marble
• Run bin/marble-qt, open the About dialog and make a screenshot. The screenshot must show that you are running the development version (master branch)! Upload the screenshot as proof that you completed all steps.

We are interested in providing good setup instructions. If you are running into problems that you cannot solve on your own, please contact your mentors:

• Using live chat via the #marble IRC channel in Freenode (Dennis Nienhüser is called Earthwings and Torsten Rahn is tackat). Note that we have to sleep and work sometimes, so might not respond immediately. We'll read your messages later though.
• By mail using nienhueser@kde.org and rahn@kde.org
