[Ussy_Blu]

I am new to Qt and im trying to select the kits i need to open my first project. But then when i try to select or add my qtversion there is no qtversion available. It shows "none". Please kindly help with this as i cant even start learning how to use the software as i cant pass this level i am stock at.

Hi and welcome to the forums.
A common startup fault is to select the visual studio Qt version from the online installer.
But since it does not come with the actual compiler ( it must be installed manually)
There is no kit to select for the project.

However, you do not mention the platform (os) or what type of Qt you are installing?
(Desktop, Android etc)

In any case, for a good fast start-up with Qt for Desktops is the
minGW Qt. it has both compiler and debugger included.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

How did you install Qt ?
What version are you trying to use ?
What OS are you running ?

By the way, it's Qt, QT stands for Apple's QuickTime which is likely not what you are currently trying to learn.

@SGaist Yeah my bad, QT was a typo, I meant Qt. I used the online installer not from the main Qt website, the version is 4.9.0, and im running it on windows 10.

From the looks of it, you may have only install Qt Creator.

You should check that and follow @mrjj's suggestion to get quickly started.

@mrjj Thanks for your help I have downloaded the online installer. I will follow your suggestion. Thank you .@SGaist I have the Qt creator installed like you guessed, and the link to the website i downloaded it from is https://www.filehorse.com/download-qt-creator-64/.

Hi
Ahh that is ONLY the editor :) QtCreator

Using the online installer will also give you a Qt version to work with.
Remember to expand the tree and select the mingw version.

Happy programming.

Out of curiosity, why are you downloading Qt Creator from a non official website ?
