How to install QT 5.5 on Lubuntu 15.04

In this article i will show you how to install QT 5.5 on lubuntu 15.04, QT 5.5 is the latest QT framework by the time i wrote this article.

Before using QT 5.5 i already try using QT 5.2.1 on lubuntu 15.04 vivid vervet, and it also works well, the tutorial is pretty much the same for lubuntu 14.04.

If you already install previous version of QT, such as QT 5.2.1, then you will need to uninstall it first, i guess.
