I am trying to install open source qt on a Mint Linux computer. https://d13lb3tujbc8s0.cloudfront.net/onlineinstallers/qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-1-online.run
Runs but no output. What am I doing wrong?

I clicked on the Download the online installer on https://www.qt.io/download-open-source?hsCtaTracking=9f6a2170-a938-42df-a8e2-a9f0b1d6cdce|6cb0de4f-9bb5-4778-ab02-bfb62735f3e5.
Is that wrong?

I meant once you have the file on your machine.

What if you run it from the command line ?

chmod +x ./qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-online.run -

Where did you put that file ?
Move to that folder first and then execute the commands. -
