qtcreator command not found

[SGaist]

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Because there's no qtcreator executable nor command. Much less in the Qt/5.8/clang_64/bin as Qt Creator is not part of the Qt Framework.

If you want to start Qt Creator from the command line:

~/Qt/Qt\ Creator.app/Contents/MacOS/Qt\ Creator.

@SGaist Meaning it is impossible to do something similar in Ubuntu: qtcreator CMakeLisets.txt? That is so disappointed.:(

[SGaist]

No, meaning that the name is different, that's all. You can do exactly the same stuff.

Hi
I also thought it looked odd
but then i realized it has spaces and all space are just escaped
so basically it just says ( if "\ " was not needed)
~/Qt/Qt Creator.app/Contents/MacOS/Qt Creator

[SGaist]

The spaces are present, hence my line with them escaped.

@SGaist
Could he add "~/Qt/Qt Creator.app/Contents/MacOS/" to path as just to execute it ?

[SGaist]

Yes he can.

[waschbaer]

@mrjj What do you mean? After add this path i can just type qtcreator?

[mrjj]

@waschbaer
Yes as it just an normal path as i understand it so
if added it should then be able to find "Qt creator"
It seems to be name that and not qtcreator.
It seems to have space in name :)
But go look in folder. should be obvious what name is.
and make sure to add path with spaces as it really has.

[SGaist]

I insists: the spaces must be properly escaped.

The documentation is being updated on that aspect.

@mrjj Thank you ,it works. And thanks to @SGaist

[waschbaer]

@SGaist This is what I do in the bash_profile

export PATH="/Users/yuminsun/Qt/Qt Creator.app/Contents/MacOS/:$PATH"

This works well, previously I write slash in the Path, and therefore it not works, a space bewteen Qt and Creator is enough.
