    I reinstalled Ubuntu on my latop and ever since I cannot add modules to Qt. It's QtCharts that I am looking for. I am also having problems adding QtWidget as that is a dependency.

    I can install Qt Creator with no problems either from the repositories or downloading and compiling the open source version.

    I have tried to add the modules use this repository "deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful main universe"
    to the /etc/apt/sources.list which worked but my program freezes once the window displays and there is no error reported.

    I also tried downloading, compiling and adding the location of qt-everything to PATH. Qt doesn't seam to see the modules and says QtCharts module is unknown.

    I tried the MaintenanceTool but that only give me an error "at least one valid and enabled repository required"

    I have been googling to no end for every error I have encountered. Not sure why I am having so much difficultly. The first time I install Qt I have no problems at all.

    Please help,
    Thanks

    @bandito Why don't you simply use the Qt Online Installer? This way you can install Qt, QtCreator and QtCharts. I'm working on Ubuntu and do not have any issues with Qt.

      @bandito Hi,friend.Welcome.

      Install Qt maybe not complex in Ubuntu. I also using Ubuntu.

      1. Download Qt install package wget http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.9/5.9.0/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.9.0.run
      2. chmod a+x qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.9.0.run
      3. ./qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.9.0.run

      Then the install steps are same with in Window. You can choose what module of Qt you want to install from UI. Offline also install many Qt examples.

      Do not give up, You will succeed, Just do it.

      Just do it!

        I'll just add my 2 cents.

        Not saying you shouldn't follow the advice of others here to do it via Qt installer package, but for my part I prefer sticking with the apt-get I use for everything else. I have installed Qt + Qt Creator purely with apt-get commands. Never had to affect the default Ubuntu repository locations and all went without hitch. So that's an alternative approach.

          So I tried all the approaches mentioned and here are the results:

          jsulm: I tried the online installer:

          -downloaded online installer qt-unified-linux-x64-3.0.1-online.run
          -preformed sudo chmod +x
          -gives this error: "bash: ./qt-unified-linux-x64-3.0.1-online.run: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error"

          joeQ:

          I followed your steps and I get the same error as jsulm's suggestion

          I figure this may be because I have a 32 bit processor and not a 64 bit.
          The most recent version of a 32 version of Qt is 5.5.1 which I can install but cannot load any additional modules.

          JNBarchan:

          Using apt-get I can install Qt no problem. As for the additional modules, there is no QtCharts module but I did find a qtdeclarative4-kqtquickcharts-1 module. I installed that and also have QtWidgets installed but Qt still doesn't see any of them. Perhaps my sources.list file is somewhat different then yours? So I posted mine.

            Hi
            You are on 32 bit system so that cannot run the
            64 installer as you found out.

            Are you sure your CPU is not 64-bit cable ?
            They are not making 32 bit linux Qt pre-builds anymore.

                Hi, if you have a 2GB or bigger USB memory stick you can try for example Ubuntu 17.10 (download here) dd the .iso to your memory stick and try to boot it. If it does then you know your CPU is 64-bit able.

                    @bandito:

                    cat /proc/cpuinfo gives you your CPU information. if your CPU is Intel or AMD and younger than 10 years, or if you have more than 4 GB RAM, it is most likely 64 bit.

                    Qt has to stay free or it will die.

                          @bandito: already a senior processor, but capable for a 64 bit operating system.

                          Qt has to stay free or it will die.

                            According to Intel the instruction set is 64 bit.
                            My processor

                            After my research it seams that I have to use a 64 bit OS.

                              Yep it can run a 64 bit OS.
                              It will make it easier as online installer will just work then.
                              While i do love apt-get, the online installer makes it really easy to add/remove modules
                              or try another version of Qt to test something. It can also update the current installation.

                                Qt charts does not exist in old Qt versions, such like 5.6.
                                Install new version, for example, 5.9.2 from website is a good idea.

                                Qt is the best C++ framework I've ever met.

                                      Ok.

                                      I installed the build-essential. Not I get this error.

                                      14:00:44: Could not determine which "make" command to run. Check the "make" step in the build configuration.

                                      When executing step "qmake"
                                      

                                      In Build & Run I added new CMake. I tried /usr/bin/make and then tried /usr/bin/qmake but neither corrected the problem.
