You have to obtain the dependencies though.

cd KShare
qmake # Might be qmake-qt5 on your system
make

On systems with FFMpeg pre-3.1 you need to apply OlderSystemFix.patch to src/recording/encoders/encoder.cpp. On systems with Qt pre-5.7 you need to install the Qt version from their website. You can attempt to curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ArsenArsen/KShare/master/install.sh | bash
