How do you install a specific version of Qt with the command line installer?

[ericg_97477]

If I run the GUI version of the installer, it is easy to install just Qt 5.12.10. After it is installed, if I do ./MaintenanceTool li, I can get the list of installed packages which is:

Id: qt.license.lgpl
	Display name: Qt License LGPL
	Version: 1.0.2
Id: qt.tools.ninja
	Display name: Ninja 1.10.0
	Version: 1.10.0-202005270934
Id: qt.tools.qtcreator
	Display name: Qt Creator 4.14.0
	Version: 4.14.0-0-202012170942
Id: qt.license.thirdparty
	Display name: Qt 3rd Party Licenses
	Version: 1.0.0
Id: qt.qt5.51210.doc
	Display name: Qt 5.12.10 Documentation
	Version: 5.12.10-0-202011040853
Id: qt.tools
	Display name: Developer and Designer Tools
	Version: 1.1.8-0-202011021046
Id: qt.qt5.51210.examples
	Display name: Qt 5.12.10 Examples
	Version: 5.12.10-0-202011040853
Id: qt.tools.cmake
	Display name: CMake 3.19.2
	Version: 3.19.2-202101071154
Id: qt
	Display name: Qt
	Version: 1.0.15
Id: qt.qt5.51210
	Display name: Qt 5.12.10
	Version: 5.12.10-0-202011040853
Id: qt.tools.maintenance
 	Display name: Maintenance Tool
 	Version: 4.0.1-1-0-202101190654
Id: qt.qt5.51210.gcc_64
 	Display name: Desktop gcc 64-bit
 	Version: 5.12.10-0-202011040843

I assume that I could take the package id's from this list and pass them to the command line installer by doing:

./qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-1-online.run --accept-licenses --da --ao --confirm-command install qt.license.lgpl qt.tools.ninja qt.tools.qtcreator qt.license.thirdparty qt.qt5.51210.doc qt.tools qt.tools.cmake qt qt.qt5.51210 qt.tools.maintenance qt.qt5.51210.gcc_64

While this does install Qt, it installed multiple versions of Qt.

$ ll

 5.12.0/
 5.12.10/
 5.12.2/
 5.12.4/
 5.12.5/
 5.12.6/
 5.12.8/
 5.12.9/
 5.15.0/
 5.15.1/
 components.xml
 dist/
 Docs/
 Examples/
 InstallationLog.txt
 installer.dat
 installerResources/
 Licenses/
 MaintenanceTool*
 MaintenanceTool.dat
 MaintenanceTool.ini
 network.xml
 Tools/

and ./MaintenanceTool li lists many more packages then I said I wanted to install.

Clearly there is something about using the command line installer I do not understand.

Can someone clear this up for me?

Thank you.

I have this one partially resolved. By issuing the command,

./qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-1-online.run --accept-licenses --da --ao --confirm-command install qt.tools.ninja qt.tools.qtcreator qt.tools.cmake qt.qt5.51210.gcc_64

I can get just 5.12.10 installed.

The primary issue was that I was asking it to install qt.qt5.51210 & qt.qt5.51210.gcc_64, for example. By asking it to install qt.qt5.51210, it will install all of the android, etc. stuff when I just needed the gcc_64 part. I removed qt.qt5.51210 from the install command and just included qt.qt5.51210.gcc_64. This gave me what I wanted and (I guess) only installed the parts of qt.qt5.51210 that were required.

There is one package installed that I do not want:

[10] Id: qt.qt5.51210.examples
[10] 	Display name: Qt 5.12.10 Examples
[10] 	Version: 5.12.10-0-202011040853

and I am not sure how to tell the installer not to install it.

Is there documentation somewhere on the package hierarchy?
