REQUIREMENTS
  You must have qt version 4.7+ and the gksu package installed in order to
  run the Penguin Pills application. Additionally, you will need to install
  at least one AV scanner.

  Depends: libqt4-test libqtgui4 libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqt4-dbus libqt4-xml gksu
  Recommends: clamav sysv-rc-conf ibus

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
  Penguin Pills is only supported on Linux. It was developed solely for
  Linux command line AV scanners and there are no plans to port it to
  other operating systems.
  
RUNNING PENGUIN PILLS ON UBUNTU
  sudo apt-get install libqt4-test libqtgui4 libqt4-network libqtcore4 \
                       libqt4-dbus libqt4-xml gksu
  ./penguinpills

COMPILING PENGUIN PILLS ON UBUNTU
  sudo apt-get install build-essential libqt4-dev
  sudo apt-get install libqt4-test libqtgui4 libqt4-network libqtcore4 \
                       libqt4-dbus libqt4-xml gksu
  qmake penguinpills.pro
  make release
  ./penguinpills

SYSV-RC-CONF
  Many of the anti-virus scanners automatically install a background
  daemon.  If you want to disable the daemon and only scan and update
  ondemand then I would recommend installing sysv-rc-conf to disable
  the daemons from automatically loading at startup.  The 2 exceptions
  are AVG and Eset which require the daemon to perform ondemand updates.

  sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf

IBUS
  You may want to add "ibus-daemon -d" to a startup script so that
  the ibus daemon will always be active when running penguinpills.
  It's not essential but it will eliminate a non-critical error
  from appearing in the console.

  sudo apt-get install ibus
  echo -e "[Desktop Entry]\nType=Application\n
           Exec=ibus-daemon -d\n
           Hidden=false\nNoDisplay=false\n
           X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true\nName=Ibus\n
           Comment=Start the ibus daemon" >
           ~/.config/autostart/ibus-daemon.desktop

GNOME USERS
  If you've installed Penguin Pills in Gnome and notice that the QuickScan
  window is not being displayed correctly then I would recommend switching
  to the metacity window manager. You can install metacity as the default
  window manager with the command below. Restart your computer and it
  should automatically load metacity.

  echo "export WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/bin/metacity" > ~/.gnomerc

  If the QuickScan window still isn't being displayed correctly then you
  might want to disable visual effects. Go to System > Preferences >
  Appearance and click the Visual Effects tab. Select the none option.
