However, there is no compiled version on Ubuntu (17.04), so you can only compile it yourself. The steps are as follows:

Install dependent libraries

sudo apt-get install \
    build-essential \
    cmake \
    libavcodec-dev \
    libavdevice-dev \
    libavfilter-dev \
    libavutil-dev \
    libexif-dev \
    libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev \
    libglib2.0-dev \
    libgtk2.0-dev \
    libopenal-dev \
    libqrencode-dev \
    libqt5opengl5-dev \
    libqt5svg5-dev \
    libsqlcipher-dev \
    libswresample-dev \
    libswscale-dev \
    libxss-dev \
    qrencode \
    qt5-default \
    qttools5-dev-tools

Get the source code

git clone https://github.com/qTox/qTox.git
git clone https://github.com/toktok/c-toxcore.git toxcore

compile and run

First compile qtoxcore:

cd toxcore
git checkout v0.1.11
autoreconf -if
./configure
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
echo '/usr/local/lib/' | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/locallib.conf
sudo ldconfig

Compile qtox again:

mkdir build
cd build

cmake ..

make

make install

run:

./qtox

However, after using sudo make install, there is an error that libtoxcore.so.1 cannot be found, but it is under /usr/local/lib, and I don't know why.
