Hi Everyone i am a little new to using Linux - and i am having an Issue opening this Application, i have already made a similar post on the ubuntu forums but we didn't get very far unfortunately
this was the original post i made:
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2411035

Neobarok is an Open Source 3D Modelling Software:
https://neobarok.com/

The Installation for Neobarok seems a little Cryptic for a Newbie like me:
https://sites.google.com/site/neobarokguide/install
LINUX

  • install Qt packages: libqt5core5, libqt5gui5, libqt5opengl5, libqt5widgets5
  • install SFML package: libsfml-window2
  • run Neobarok
  • if "error while loading shared libraries: libsfml-window.so.2.3"
    create symlink:
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libsfml-window.so.2.4 /usr/lib/libsfml-window.so.2.3

Ubuntu Version:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release:	18.04
Codename:	bionic

i am recieving this Error Message everytime i try to Open Neobarok:

Code:
./Neobarok ./Neobarok: error while loading shared libraries: libsfml-window.so.2.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

this is what i have done so far:

i have installed libsfml-2.4 using:

sudo apt-get install libsfml-window2.4[sudo] password for dilan2814: 
Reading package lists... Done

Neobarok seems to be third-party repository. So you should ask support from its developer.

On Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS you need to create symbolic link between libraries:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsfml-window.so.2.4 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsfml-window.so.2.3

but this will not help - the ./Neobarok does not start - it quietly crashes:

$ ./Neobarok
$

It does not work on Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS after installing all the dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libqt5core5a libqt5gui5 libqt5opengl5 libqt5widgets5 libsfml-window2.3v5 

cd ~/Downloads
wget http://neobarok.com/Neobarok-1.1.3-linux.zip
unzip Neobarok-1.1.3-linux.zip
cd Neobarok/
./Neobarok

It reports the following:

$ ./Neobarok
./Neobarok: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.8' not found (required by ./Neobarok)
./Neobarok: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5' not found (required by ./Neobarok)
./Neobarok: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Gui.so.5: version `Qt_5' not found (required by ./Neobarok)
./Neobarok: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Widgets.so.5: version `Qt_5' not found (required by ./Neobarok)

So it is unclear for which GNU/Linux distribution the package was build. Current Debian repositories and Ubuntu packages versions do not provide Qt 5.8.

Update: after multiple Attempts i could not get a hold of the developer so i guess this is going Dormant for the time being until i get a response from the Dev - thanks for all the help guys
