Trying to install KISS IDE on Ubuntu, Qt5 and cmake problem

The KISS IDE is an IDE used for programming, compiling, and exporting code/executables to a device called the KIPR link.

It is meant for Windows and OS X, but you can compile the source in Linux. I have installed the requirements, but apparently did not install qt5 correctly. When I cd ~/Documents/kiss-master/ and run mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. it throws this error:

Add the installation prefix of "Qt5Declarative" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "Qt5Declarative_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "Qt5Declarative" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

After using both locate and find, I could not find this file in my hard drive.

I have no idea what this means. This is my first encounter with Qt. Could someone please help and explain what I should do?

If you need anything concerning my file system setup, please ask in the comments and I will edit the question to include it. Same goes for any commands you need to see the output of.

Thanks!!!
