18.04 ubuntu sqlitebrowser doesn't start

Question

I'm new to ubuntu and I cannot make db browser to launch, it seems to me that i am missing libraries, but i don't know how to add them because I am a noob. when i type sqlitebrowser in terminal I get:

sqlitebrowser: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Network.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when I type which sqlitebrowser I get:

/usr/bin/sqlitebrowser

when I type ldd 'which sqlitebrowser' I get:

linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd22d58000) libQt5Network.so.5 => not found libQt5Xml.so.5 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Xml.so.5 (0x00007fb17b1e0000) libsqlcipher.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsqlcipher.so.0 (0x00007fb17af09000) libQt5PrintSupport.so.5 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5PrintSupport.so.5 (0x00007fb17ac9a000) libQt5Widgets.so.5 => not found libQt5Gui.so.5 => not found libQt5Core.so.5 => not found libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fb17a90c000) libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007fb17a56e000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fb17a356000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fb179f65000) libQt5Core.so.5 => not found libcrypto.so.1.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1 (0x00007fb179aed000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fb1798ce000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fb1796ca000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fb17bb50000) libQt5Widgets.so.5 => not found libQt5Gui.so.5 => not found libQt5Core.so.5 => not found

So I reason that I am missing those libQt5 things but I have no idea how to add them. Will appreciate any help !

I have exactly the same case when trying to run the sqlite browser from within the WSL — thanos.a

What did that command output? Did it install something or did it say already installed?

it installed some stuff :|

It could be that the libraries are there, but the versioned filenames for them are not. Try sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev. Does that help with the ldd output at all?
