After copying and pasting the first portion of the code for Debian version of cool retro term, as I am using the raspberry pi, I am still getting a "Package 'qt5-default' has no installation candidate" error, as well as another error. When I try to execute qmake && make to compile after I executed the GitHub clone it says command not found. I am pretty stuck. There is not even a system tools menu where cool retro term would usually be created as well as no cool retro term program. I have tried to launch it from the file Cool Retro Term thinking that it was just a setup error but all I get is "Invalid desktop entry file '/home/pi/cool-retro-term/cool-retro-term.desktop' " I have tried opening it via command in the terminal but all I get is "bash: cool-retro-term: command not found" as the output in terminal. I am quite tired at this point, as I have completely reformatted and wiped my micro-sd card and gone through the entire 32bit raspberry os reinstallation process multiple times with the same result. I do not know what else to do.

I should mention that I tried the sudo apt install qml-module-qtquick-controls2 package as mentioned in the issue

QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component #674

I did get it to work, but then I was editing a command line and accidentally created a command loop. I had to wipe the sd card, and now the above mentioned errors are all I get. I have wiped the micro-sd card clean using the create and format hard disk partitions manually, as well as used the raspberry pi imager v1.6.2 to re-wipe and then format the os back onto the card to start fresh. I went back through after the wipe, and followed all of the steps to reinstall and set up cool-retro-term, but all I get are the errors.
