    I've a new install of Qt Creator on Windows. After creating a project all I see listed is the CMakeLists.txt file, and I cannot run the project.

    Project type: Qt Widgets Application
    Build system: CMake for Qt 6.5 and Later
    Qt version: 6.8.2

    At this point I only see the CMakeLists.txt file listed, and I'm unable to build the project.

    The projects page shows to suitable kits found.

    The link says to add a kit in the options or via the maintenance tool of the SDK, but I'm unsure how to do this. The Kits tab shows a number of kits detected but I cannot select these and therefore cannot build the project.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

      @StuartH Did you run cmake?

        I'm also having the same problem. @jsulm , it won't let me run cmake. I have even followed along with the tutorial and still have the same issue. Using Debian12.

          @chefnevets do you have any warnings in the Compile Output or the General Messages pane?

          Qt has to stay free or it will die.

            @chefnevets Do you have a valid Qt Kit in QtCreator?

                I was able to resolve this issue by adding CMake to the PATH (I'm on Windows), I could then update the Kits configuration to include CMake, and the project could then be built. I ran through the installation/getting started tutorial and that was not mentioned.
