[Csnd] CsoundQT install instructions

The Csound Mailinglist
1

I was just wondering whether users can find step-by-step install instructions for CsoundQT,
as in “first install Csound from …”, "then download the latest CsoundQT from …”
I might have missed this, as when you google CsoundQT you get a download page which
points to the github release, but it does not say there what you need to do. Maybe
some instructions at the top of the release notes?

I mean, it’s not difficult for someone who knows, but it might be confusing for
new users.

yes. i just looked into the floss manual at The Csound FLOSS Manual.

the first sentence is good, i think:
"CsoundQt is a frontend for Csound, so Csound needs to be installed first. Make sure you have installed Csound before you install CsoundQt; otherwise it will not work at all."

the next paragraph is outdated, as i just see. i will change it, and link to the install instructions on the CsoundQt site, once we did it.

@tarmo: please let me know off-list if you want me to do this work, or part of it.
