\title Get and Install Qt with \QOI
\brief Downloading and installing the Qt modules and tools that you need.
\brief Downloading and installing Qt modules and tools.
\QOI gives you the choice of installing only the modules
and tools you need to develop on a particular desktop platform and to run
your applications on one or several desktop platforms, mobile or embedded
devices, or MCUs.
\QOI lets you install only the modules and tools you need to develop for a specific desktop
platform and deploy your applications to desktop platforms, mobile devices, embedded systems,
or MCUs.
If instead you prefer to build Qt from sources, please see \l{Building Qt
Sources}.
To install Qt, complete the instructions on this page or take the
\l {https://www.qt.io/academy/course-catalog#how-to-install-qt}{How to install Qt} course.
\section1 1. Create a Qt Account
\section1 Before you start
To begin, create a \l{Qt Account}. This account gives you access to a web
portal where you can manage your licenses, as well as access to the forums
and wikis. Also, make sure you read the \l{Qt Licensing} page regarding your
chosen license.
Before you start the installation:
\section1 2. Download \QOI
\list
\li Create an account at \l{http://account.qt.io}{Qt Account}.
\li Ensure that your platform is supported, see \l{Supported Platforms}.
\endlist
Go to your Qt account's download page. By selecting the appropriate unified
\QOI for your OS, you can install commercial or open source
versions of Qt, development tools, and other components. \QOI asks for your
Qt account credentials. \QOI retrieves the
license attached to the account from a server and provides a list of
available components corresponding to the license.
\section1 Install
\section1 3. Install Qt
\list 1
\li On \l{http://account.qt.io}{Qt Account}, go to \uicontrol Downloads and select \QOI for your
operating system.
\li Run \QOI.
\li Select the components that you want to install and follow the instructions to complete
the installation.
To complete the installation, select the components that you want to install
and follow the instructions of the installation program.
Note the following:
You must select at least one Qt version for one platform that you want to
run your applications on. For example, if you have installed Microsoft
Visual Studio 2022 on 64-bit Windows, you could
select \e {MSVC 2022 64-bit} under the Qt version you want to develop with.
However, the easiest way to install Qt for desktop development is to select
the default installation for desktop development. You can install additional
modules later.
\list
\li The available selection of components in \QOI depends on your license.
\li You can always install, uninstall, and update modules and components after the
installation with \QMT (included in every Qt installation).
\endlist
\image qtinstallercomponents.webp
If you also want to run your applications on Android devices, for example,
you should select the default installation for mobile development.
\endlist
The following table contains examples of which components to install
depending on the platforms where you want to run your applications.
See the following table to find examples of which components to install depending on
your target platforms.

\section1 After the installation
Evaluation and open source users can get help on the
\l {https://forum.qt.io/}{Qt forum}. See also the
\l {https://wiki.qt.io/Forum_Help}{Help on using the Forum} wiki page.
After you have installed Qt, you are ready to start developing applications.
Non-commercial users can get limited help with the installation process
through \l {https://account.qt.io/support}{Qt support}.
For more information, see \l{Create Your First Applications} or
\l{https://academy.qt.io/catalog}{Qt courses}.
The primary support channel for commercial customers is their
\l {https://account.qt.io/support}{Qt Account}.
\section1 4. Create Applications
After the installation, \l{\QC Documentation}{\QC} opens. You can
use the project wizard templates to start creating applications that run
on your chosen platform.
If you want to design Qt Quick UIs, open \l{Qt Design Studio Manual}
{Qt Design Studio} and use the project wizard templates there.
