This is an utility replacing the official graphical Qt installer. It can automatically download prebuilt Qt binaries for any target (you’re not bound to Linux binaries on Linux; you could also download iOS binaries). It’s working with python on Linux, OS X and Windows.
Prerequisite
Dependencies: python, 7z
It is required p7zip for windows, 7zip for mac or p7zip-full for Ubuntu.
Install
Same as usual, it can be installed with pip
$ pip install aqtinstall
Usage
General usage looks like this:
aqt [-h][--help] install <qt-version> <host> <target> [<arch>]
python -m aqt [-h][--help] install <qt-version> <host> <target> [<arch>]
The Qt version is formatted like this: 5.11.3
Host is one of: linux, mac, windows
Target is one of: desktop, android, ios (iOS only works with mac host)
For android and windows you also need to specify an arch: win64_msvc2017_64, win64_msvc2015_64, win32_msvc2015, win32_mingw53, ‘win64_mingw73’, android_x86, android_armv7
The Qt packages are installed under current directory as such Qt<ver>/<ver>/gcc_64/ If you want to install it in C:Qt as same as standard gui installer default, run such as follows:
C:\> mkdir Qt
C:\> cd Qt
C:\Qt\> aqt install 5.11.3 windows desktop win64_msvc2017_64
Example: Installing Qt 5.12.0 for Linux:
pip install aqtinstall
cd /opt
sudo aqt install 5.12.0 linux desktop
Example: Installing Android (armv7) Qt 5.10.2:
aqt install 5.10.2 linux android android_armv7
