Early access to qt6 libraries and apps

Currently (January 2026) the repositories need to be added manually ... in a terminal / ssh session

This is an example of installing all the support libraries and the application angelfish,Angelfish, a chrome Chrome-based web-browser that is fairly modern.

First you need to add two repositories:

devel-su ssu ar "piggz-qt6-apps" "https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/home:/piggz:/qt6apps/sailfish_latest_aarch64/"
devel-su ssu ar "piggz-qt6sb2" "https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/home:/piggz:/qt6sb2/sailfish_latest_aarch64/"

withThen zypperyou installedhave to reload your repositories catalogs, and install qt-runner-qt6 and angelfish:

devel-su pkcon install zypper # install zypper :0refresh
devel-su zypper ref
devel-su zypper in angelfish

with pkcon alone

pkcon refresh pkcon install qt-runner-qt6 angelfish

You'll get 2 new icons one green with big Qt letters (it's qt-runner) and a blue and yellow fish (it's Angelfish).

First open qt-runner and sets DPI between 280 and 320 (with a Sony Xperia 10 III, I use 300). Apply your choices swyping from left to right.

Then you can start your Angelfish and brows the web.

To remove your installations you can use the following commands:

# alsoremove neededpackages
devel-su zypperpkcon in qt-runner-qt6
#  set dpi in runner to 280-320. else layout to big


# to deinstall 
devel-su zypper rm -uremove angelfish qt-runner-qt6
# remove repos
devel-su zypperssu rr piggz-qt6-apps
devel-su zypperssu rr piggz-qt6sb2
# update package cache after remove, not really needed
devel-su zypperpkcon refrefresh
