    After a very long download and installation on my macBook Pro, I am faced with the message:

    "You can't use this version of the application "Qt Creator.app" with this version of macOS.

    You have macOS 10.13.6. This application requires macOS 10.14 or later."

    Unfortunately this macBook Pro cannot run the latest OS due to Apple wisdom....what options do I have?

        @SPlatten I don't know. Start with 4.14, if it does not work check previous release.

          @SPlatten it takes hours to download and attempt installation, why isn’t there some documentation to say what versions are for what version of operating system?

          Kind Regards,

            @SPlatten Hours? The MacOS build is about 200MB big. There is probably somewhere documentation, but I don't know where.

                @jsulm , going around and around in circles, just downloaded another installer:
                https://download.qt.io/archive/qtcreator/4.14/4.14.2/qt-creator-opensource-mac-x86_64-4.14.2_installer.dmg

                It doesn't come with any kits and doesn't include the MaintenanceTool either, what use is that?

                Kind Regards,
                Sy

                    You downloaded QtCreator installer. Of course you do not have any Kits - for those you have to install also Qt...

                      @jsulm , neither does it come with the maintenance tool, so you can't download a kit either.

                        @SPlatten You don't download a Kit.
                        Again: you downloaded QtCreator offline installer and it contains exactly that: QtCreator, nothing more (also not maintenance tool).
                        To get a kit you have to install Qt. Either use Qt Online Installer or a Qt Offline Installer.
                        QtCreator != Qt
