Install WeChat under Ubuntu 16.04
I haven't written a blog for a long time. Two days ago, the computer couldn't get a teamviewer. The reason showed that the libqt5gui5 version was too low. I studied a wave of updates and uninstalled libqt5gui5 and its dependency on qtbase5-dev. I planned to reinstall the new version, but the computer could not start after restarting. . . After a long time of trouble entering Tty, I was forced to reinstall the system. I installed 16.04 on a whim. I used 14.04 before, and recorded the process of installing WeChat. I forgot to record the previous installation, which caused me to spend an hour or two to configure various environments.
Ps: Teamviewer upgrade problem has not been solved yet, so I have time to continue to struggle
