    Re: [Qt Creator](how to install older version?)
    I can't find any online installer of Qt 5 versions. And I'm not being able to do the installation from source code. I need specifically one of the Qt 5, preferably 5.15.14, required by Geant4. Any help on where to find the online installer of these versions? In this link: https://download.qt.io/archive/online_installers/ there are no online installers for any version 5. Thanks in advance!

      This specific version isn't available via Online Installer anyway and never was (in Open Source Online Installer).
      AFAIK you have to build from source.
      [Edit: assuming you have a commercial license, since 5.15.14 is a commercial LTS release... if you don't you can't use it]

      In this link: https://download.qt.io/archive/online_installers/ there are no online installers for any version 5

      The Online Installer Version is not equal to the Qt Versions it provides...
      Online Installer 4.8 doesn't mean Qt 4.8

      If I'm not mistaken, Qt 5.15.2 is the last Qt5 release you can get with an OpenSource license.
      Can't tell right now which Online installer has active mirrors to download 5.15.2.

      But you can get it also here:

      • https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.15/5.15.2/

        Qt 5.15.2 is the latest Qt 5 libraries for which there are official binaries provided to non-commercial users through the online installer. This was the last Qt 5.15 available at the time that Qt 6 was released (See Qt offering changes 2020 under "LTS and offline installer to become commercial-only").
        Commercial users have access to later 5.15.x binaries and offline installers.

        Later versions are available as sources (up to 5.15.13 at time of writing) or code.qt.io.

        The same licenses apply either way.

          preferably 5.15.14, required by Geant4.

          I see nothing to say that Geant4 requires Qt 5.15.14. A quick search of the source code suggestions support at least as far back as Qt 5.10, and at least as forward as Qt6.0.

          As @Pl45m4 said, you can use the Online Installer to install Qt 5.15.2, which should be both source and binary compatible with all Qt 5.15.x versions. Personally, I would use the Online Installer to install try Qt 6.7 (or 6.6, or 6.5) etc, since Geant4 does seem to have Qt6 support.

          Also, as @ChrisW67 indicated, The Qt Company doesn't provide Qt 5.15.3+ public binaries, but the source code is still open and available, so you could build it yourself. But another option, depending on your platform, is to use third-party binaries. For example, Geant4 officially supports a few Ubuntu versions, and Ubuntu currently provides binaries up the Qt 5.15.13 (depending on the distro release) - not quite 5.15.14 (yet), but I suspect would work just fine unless 5.15.14 fixed some highly-specific bug that affects Geant4.

          Cheers.

            Indeed, from Geant4 11.2.1 release notes

            Fixed minimum supported version for Qt5; requiring Qt5 >= 5.9 if Qt5 support is selected.

            Qt6 support seems to be in beta.

              I searched this questions and troubled by couples of days, but I just find the solution: archive-filter, you can search and retrieve previous version including Qt5.15.2.

                Have you tried installing it on Ubuntu? I remember that "sudo apt install qtcreator" installs version 5.10, if I'm not mistaken.
