Running qt on external computer

Hi, I have a question, for the open source version of qt, the application built can be run only within Qt , right? Can I run my program on an external computer that doesn't have qt?

Yes you can. Just deploy your application: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/deployment.html

Nope, for 2 different reasons:

The whole purpose of free and open-source software is to guarantee freedoms to users. So, you have the freedom to run the application anywhere you want.
You're thinking about running the application within Qt Creator, the IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Qt is a library. Qt is not Qt Creator.
