How to run Qt apps on Debian?

[ashley1]

I am trying to run an application which uses Qt on a Debian 7 server and I get the error message: This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb". and when I run it with -platform offscreen: This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "offscreen".

I have tried following various fixes for ubuntu and Windows which didn't work for me, couldn't find any for Debian.

Any help would be appreciated
