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 > 3.5 on Linux, OS X and Windows. It is required to install 7zip utility in your platform.

Install

Same as usual, it can be installed with pip

$ pip install aqtinstall

Usage

General usage looks like this:

aqt [-h][--help][-O | --outputdir <directory>][-b | --base <mirror url>][-E | --external <7zip command>] \
    [--internal] install <qt-version> <host> <target> [<arch>] -m [extra module] [extra module]...
python -m aqt [-h][--help][-O | --outputdir <directory>][-b | --base <mirror url>][-E | --external <7zip command>] \
    [--internal] install <qt-version> <host> <target> [<arch>] -m [extra module] [extra module]...
  • 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 some platforms you also need to specify an arch:
    • For windows, choose one of: win64_msvc2017_64, win32_msvc2017, win64_msvc2015_64, win32_msvc2015, win64_mingw73, win32_mingw73, win64_mingw53, win32_mingw53, win64_msvc2017_winrt_x64, win64_msvc2017_winrt_x86, win64_msvc2017_winrt_armv7

    • For android and Qt 5.13 or below, choose one of: android_x86_64, android_arm64_v8a, android_x86, android_armv7

  • You can also use internal 7zip extractor instead of external 7zip command.

  • You can specify external 7zip command path.

python -m aqt [-h][--help][-O | --outputdir <directory>][-b | --base <mirror url>][-E | --external <7zip command>] \
    [--internal] tool <host> <tool_name> <tool-version> <arch> -m [extra module] [extra module]...
  • tool_name is one of tools_ifw, tools_vcredist, and tools_openssl.

  • arch is full qualified tool name such as qt.tools.ifw.31

The Qt packages are installed under current directory as such Qt/<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:\> aqt install --outputdir c:\Qt 5.11.3 windows desktop win64_msvc2017_64
