    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

      for the open source version of qt, the application built can be run only within Qt , right?

      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.
