This instruction is for Ubuntu only and may or may not work for other distributions of linux but you can always tweak the installations and hotot has got very nice documentation on installation here. At first remove the previous installation of hotot.
$ sudo apt-get remove hotot
Download the latest source of hotot repository.
git clone https://github.com/lyricat/Hotot.git Hotot-master
Once download is complete. cd into the hotot directory
cd Hotot-master
Create a new directory for creating build mkdir build cd build Once you are inside the build directory. Pass the command
cmake ..
While issuing this command you might get error reporting the missing qt dependencies. You can then just compile bypassing the qt dependency by issuing below command. Below is the error that you might receive.You will get the error as shown below.

using terminal and report the issues in https://github.com/lyricat/Hotot/issues
