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>]
python -m aqt [-h][--help][-O | --outputdir <directory>][-b | --base <mirror url>][-E | --external <7zip command>] \
    [--internal] 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

  • 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>

  • 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

Example: Installing Qt 5.12.0 for Linux:

pip install aqtinstall
sudo aqt install --outputdir /opt 5.12.0 linux desktop

Example: Installing Android (armv7) Qt 5.10.2:

aqt install 5.10.2 linux android android_armv7

Example: Install Install FrameWork(IFW):

aqt tool linux tools_ifw 3.1.1 qt.tools.ifw.31

Example: Install vcredist:

C:\ aqt tool windows tools_vcredist 2019-02-13-1 qt.tools.vcredist_msvc2017_x64
C:\ .\Qt\Tools\vcredist\vcredist_msvc2017_x64.exe /norestart /q

Example: Install OpenSSL:

C:\ aqt tool windows tools_openssl 1.1.1-1 qt.tools.openssl.win_x64

Example: Show help message

aqt help
