How do you install qt on ubuntu22.04

qt 22.04

Solution 1

Why don't you install it with their online installer.

Once downloaded, chmod +x qt-unified-linux-<arch>-<version>-online.run then ./qt-unified-linux-<arch>-<version>-online.run

Solution 2

You need to install packages:

sudo apt install -y qtcreator qtbase5-dev qt5-qmake cmake

And you need to manually change the Qt version: screenshot how to manually change Qt version

Then you need to manually change Qt version in the Kits tab: screenshot on the Kits tab

In ubuntu20.04 qt5-default was the package name. So I tried the same and qt6-default in 22.04.

Then I tried apt-cache search qt which revealed (among many others): qt6-base-dev and qt5-base-dev.

I am unsure whether the new qt{version}-base-dev is the old qt5-default. If not: What is?

I try to use the package manager whenever I am able, but you are right given my question.

@Natan I tried the same thing. Maybe it'll get there in the future since 22.04 is relatively new.

Unfortunately, the online installer does not run on arm64 architecture.

@Dragos You can also build from source if you are unable to use the installer.

this is a good answer and will get you the latest qt6.2+ BUT if you want to use the qt that came with your distro (especially if you use Kubuntu - which i guess you don't) then sudo apt install answer is the way to go if you want to distribute .deb files on kubuntu. which i guess you don't :)

i sure hope this works on the standard raspberry pi os. i'm having problems gettin apt to install qtcreator on there. Well, not qtcreator - that's on fine. But the qt kit can't be found. Hoping that's in the qtbase5-dev. I'll give it a shot. thanks!

@StephenHazel Unless it's changed (doubtful), you can install Qt 5.x through this installer as well.

not 5.15.3 that is used by kubuntu 22.04. you can sudo apt install it on kubuntu, but the online installer goes from 5.15.2 to 6.0. I think cuz KDE started maintaining bug fixes on the last 5.x line as they couldn't move to 6 yet.

That -does- work to install qtcreator (and especially the proper kit stuff) onto raspberry pi (regular 32 bit os). That helped me a looot - thanks!

This worked for me on amd-64 Ubuntu 22.04
