How to install Qt5.12.11 without an account?
I downloaded the .exe installer from download.qt.io but it asks me to login to continue to install. I recall there is a skip button on the installation window to bypass the login in the past Qt releases. Does not Qt 5.12.11 allow to install without an account? I disconnect the network connection but the skip button never appears. B.T.W, more and more software/website require you to register to use their service. Is there some philosophy behind this trend? At the first glance, this policy creates inconvenience thus reduces potential users.

The «Skip» button existed until February 2020, when logging in was required again (qt.io/blog/qt-offering-changes-2020). As of today, there is no way to download pre-built binaries from the official installer without logging in. You can, however, build Qt from source code (wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git) or use an unofficial installer (github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall), both without logging in.

Thank you for the information. It is a pity that the skip button is retired. I think many people will have to build qt themselves.

I noticed on qt.io/offline-installers there is only an offline installer for Qt 5 but not Qt 6 (which was released 1 year ago today). Related: superuser.com/questions/1140788/qt-install-offline

I have also downloaded official 5.12 offline installer and it asked me to login. I turned my airplane mode on and closed the qt installer window. Then reopen the window, a message poped up, that network configuration is missing or something. However next button was available which allowed me to install without internet connectivity.

In case of an offline installer, you can just change the system time year to 2019, run the installer, press the button and roll the system time back.

You could dowload the offline installer, the online installer require a qt account. Offline installer link.
First you should download and install the qt creator and then download and install the qt source package, if you do not want to use the qt-creator then you do not have to dowload that.

I downloaded the offline installer «Qt 5.12.11 for Linux 64-bit (1.3 GB)» and like someone said in comments, logging in is required. Even for the offline installer unfortunately but maybe there is a way to bypass the login form since the data is already downloaded for the «offline installer». If I disable my Internet connection and start the installer, it says «Network connection not found. If you are using proxy, please modify proxy settings from ‘Settings’ or continue without internet connection.» but we cannot continue. Even the FAQ is not up-to-date: wiki.qt.io/Ifw_FAQ

@baptx Just change the system time year to 2019, run the installer, press the button and roll the system time back.

@Andry you should create an answer with this comment as this is the only way to actually install without a user.

You could use the old «qt-unified-online-installer», where you still could skip the login, to install a newer Qt version! The latest installer version, where this is possible (as far as I know) is the version 2.0.5-2.
The old installer for Linux can still be downloaded from here:
Unfortunately, Qt.io, in their wisdom, decided to remove the Windows and MacOS online installers from their download mirrors, but at least a slightly older version for Windows can still be found via Google, search for «qt-unified-windows-x86-2.0.2-online.exe». Here’s a link for direct download that I’ve found (06/2023), but I didn’t test it on Windows!
If anybody knows where to get the old 2.0 MacOS online installer, please let me know.
Example for Linux:
Now run the installer, skip the login, and when you are on the «Welcome» page, press «Settings» and go to the «Repositories» tab. Disable all «Default repositories» and select «User defined repositories» (must be selected!!). Then press the «Add» button to add your own Qt repositories, depending on what version you want to install, e.g. for Qt 5.15.2 on Linux, add these five Linux repositories:
https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/linux_x64/desktop/qt5_5152 https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/linux_x64/desktop/qt5_5152_src_doc_examples https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/linux_x64/desktop/tools_generic https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/linux_x64/desktop/tools_qtcreator https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/linux_x64/desktop/licenses Then press «OK», repeat skipping the login page and press «Next», now the installer should load all data needed to install the newer Qt version, and you are able to select what package you want to install. 🙂
Other versions and systems:
(or: how to get those repositories URLs)
If you want to install another Qt version, and/or a version for your OS, just look up here:
. select the folder with your OS, and go into the «desktop» subfolder!
In here, search for the folder pair that has your wanted version (e.g. Qt 5.12.11 = «qt5_51211» and «qt5_51211_src_doc_examples»), and replace the first two repository URLs from the example above with those two (right click > copy link). Then search for the corresponding folders/links of the other three needed repositories of your OS («tools_generic», «tools_qtcreator» and «licenses»).
Tested this on Debian Linux 12 x64, with latest Qt5 and Qt6 repositories.
Где теперь взять offline установщик Qt5 под Linux?
Друзья, вопрос актуальный, начиная с февраля-марта этого года: где теперь взять offline установщик Qt5.15+ (ну или Qt6, чего уж там) под Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint)?
Вариант со сборкой из исходников оказался для меня пока что неподъемным: где-то допускаю ошибку и в итоге классы в проекте обозначаются как неизвестные, а WebEngine вообще не собрался, ругнувшись: could not find all necessary libraries for qpa-xcb support in qtwebengine , кроме того ругался после make install еще чем-то «не могу создать каталог такой-то: отказано в доступе» и т.п. . (собирать из исходников пытался под свежей Mint, клонируя из репозитория по инструкции Building_Qt_5_from_Git).
Вариант установить через snapd подкупал своей простотой (казалось бы, всего-то нужно: включить поддержку snaps, переместив файлик nosnap.pref куда-нибудь в HOME), однако после установки snapd и запуска соответствующей команды на установку снапа qt515-core20, он вроде установился, но куда — обнаружить не удалось, даже через Qt Creator. Видимо, снова не тот путь.
Собственно, вопрос актуальный в нашей стране со времен Чернышевского, а может и до него: что делать? Если есть проверенные идеи и пошаговые инструкции по поиску/установке Qt5.15+ (ну или Qt6, чего уж там) — you are welcome!

Настраиваем окружение Qt6+QtC без VPN
Как известно, с недавних пор сервера qt.io запрещают загрузку любых архивов с российских IP. Если первое время проверка шла только на получение метаинформации, теперь любая загрузка файла обрывается сервером.
Обычные советы, как это обойти, включают:
- Используй платный безлимитный VPN;
- Используй дистрибутив Linux и его бинарные сборки;
- Собирай сам из исходинков.
Все это рабочие советы, но не очень дружелюбны к начинающим разработчикам, которые только hello world начинают собирать. Я расскажу, как можно быстро настроить окружение используя зеркала Yandex и github.
Часть 1, установка Qt библиотек
Для начала определимся с желаемой версией установки (пусть будет Qt 6.4.1) и целевой директорией (пусть будет D:/Qt — если память не изменяет, с юникодными символами в директории могут быть проблемы).
qt.qt6.641.win64_msvc2019_64/6.4.1-0-202211101254qtbase-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-MSVC2019-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-X86_64.7z qt.qt6.641.win64_msvc2019_64/6.4.1-0-202211101254qtdeclarative-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-MSVC2019-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-X86_64.7z qt.qt6.641.win64_msvc2019_64/6.4.1-0-202211101254qttools-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-MSVC2019-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-X86_64.7z qt.qt6.641.win64_msvc2019_64/6.4.1-0-202211101254qttranslations-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-MSVC2019-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-X86_64.7zПомещаем их в директорию D:/Qt , и распаковывем 7-zip в тещую директорию (т.о все они распакаются в одно место — 6.4.1 и содержимое объединится).
Можно также порыскать по соседним директориям, если вам нужны какие-то модули не из стандартной поставки, например:
дебажные символы для qtbase: qt.qt6.641.debug_info.win64_msvc2019_64/6.4.1-0-202211101254qtbase-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-MSVC2019-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-X86_64-debug-symbols.7z Qt multimedia: qt.qt6.641.addons.qtmultimedia.win64_msvc2019_64/6.4.1-0-202211101254qtmultimedia-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-MSVC2019-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-X86_64.7z Qt5 compat модуль: qt.qt6.641.qt5compat.win64_msvc2019_64/6.4.1-0-202211101254qt5compat-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-MSVC2019-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-X86_64.7zВ общем-то, на этом установка самого фреймворка завершена, если у вас уже стоит Qt Creator, просто укажите путь к qmake6.exe для добавления версии Qt.
(D:\Qt\6.4.1\msvc2019_64\bin\qmake6.exe)
Часть 2, установка Qt Creator
Можно также найти QtC на зеркале Yandex, но я предпочитаю релизы с Github.
Скачиваем архивы qtcreator-Windows-MSVC-3703462836.7z и qtcreatorcdbext-Windows-MSVC-3703462836.7z ( в зависимости от версии, набор цифр будет отличаться)
Распаковываем первый в любой удобный вам путь, например, D:/Qt/qt-creator-9.0.0
Распаковываем второй таким образом, чтобы его содержимое (dll) оказалось в D:/Qt/qtcreator-9.0.0/lib/qtcreatorcdbext64
Про настройку CDB отладчика, Kit-ов и прочего писать уже не буду, инструкций по настройке IDE и так предостаточно.
Getting Started with Qt
You can install the Qt Framework and tools by using an online or offline installer, or by building the source packages yourself.
The installers allow you to download and install the following components:
- Qt libraries, prebuilt for a particular development platform (operating system and compiler)
- Qt Creator integrated development environment (IDE)
- Reference Documentation and examples
- Qt in source code form (needed only if you want to build the framework and tools yourself)
- Add-On components that are relevant for different platforms
Online Installation
In the online installer, you can select commercial or open source versions of Qt, tools, and Add-On components to install. Using the online installer requires signing in to your Qt Account. The installer retrieves the license attached to the account from a server and provides a list of available components corresponding to the license.
The online installer is available from the Qt Downloads page.
Offline Installation
An offline installer is a single package that contains all of Qt and Add-Ons relevant for a target platform. Users with a commercial license can either sign in with their Qt account or with their Qt license key during the installation process. The license key is available in the Qt Account Web portal.
The offline installer is available here.
Installation Process
To run the installer, you need a Qt Account. You can use your Qt Account credentials to sign-in to all Qt services, including the forums and wiki. If you do not already have a Qt Account, you can create one during the installation process.
To complete the installation, select the components that you want to install and follow the instructions of the installation program.
The following YouTube video gives a complete walk-through of the installation process:
Updating or Removing Qt
Once Qt is installed, you can use the Maintenance Tool under to add components and to update or remove installed components.
Platform Requirements
Specific requirements and instructions for developing applications on different platforms are covered in the platform pages.
For more information, visit the supported platforms page.
Create Your First Applications
Learn the basics of Qt and Qt Quick development by following the two tutorials below that illustrate how to create simple applications and build and run them on target platforms:
- Getting Started Programming with Qt Widgets
- Getting Started Programming with Qt Quick
Qt Widgets provides a library of UI elements which allow you to create classic desktop-style user interfaces. Qt Quick is a library providing types and functionalities for building modern, fluid, animated UIs.
For a more thorough walkthrough of the different aspects of developing applications with Qt 5, see the QML Book. It focuses on Qt Quick, but also provides the information needed to use QML together with C++.
Explore Qt
We invite you to explore the rest of Qt. We prepared overviews which help you decide which APIs to use and our examples demonstrate how to use them.
