After successful compilation of project, I have get an executable file.

When I type ./program in result I see:

QML Error: qrc:///qml/main.qml:25:1:module "QtGraphicalEffects" is not installed
qrc:///qml/main.qml:24:1:module "QtQuick" is not installed

I'm using QtQuick 2.0, Qt5 and Ubuntu, QtQuick and QtGraphicalEffects are in ~/Qt5.0.2/5.0.2/gcc/qml/ I have install fresh Qt SDK from site project.

I have tried run this application also on Windows 7 but with the same result.

Could anyone help?

This is because Windows or whatever OS you use doesn't know the location of Qt install directory and it can't find the QML plugins sub-dir when you run app outside QtCreator.

You have to take the following directories from your SDK install and copy them beside your executable (and DLL) :

<SDK install path>/<Qt version>/<compiler name>/qml/QtQuick.2
<SDK install path>/<Qt version>/<compiler name>/qml/QtGraphicalEffects

And it should work fine.
