Newbie: Problems access examples in QT Creator
-
- macOS 10.14.6
- Python 3.8.9
- QT Creator 4.15 based on QT 5.15.2
I've just installed QT Creator after deleting and reinstalling the Xcode command line tools. I was expecting to go to the examples section but all I can see is an unpopulated combo box and a search edit box with only "Search in examples " present. Can anyone tel me how to access the example content?

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Did you install any versions of Qt ?
The examples do not come with Qt Creator which is an IDE. -
Thanks for the reply. I installed the Open source version of the QT Creator from https://www.qt.io/download-open-source?hsCtaTracking=9f6a2170-a938-42df-a8e2-a9f0b1d6cdce|6cb0de4f-9bb5-4778-ab02-bfb62735f3e5.
I had previously installed PyQT5 using pip from the command line. -
Then as I said, if you want the examples, you need to install a Qt build. To the best of my knowledge, PyQt does not install any examples.

The only open source download I can find is the
qt-unified-macOS-x64-4.1.0-online.dmginstaller, which seem to have installed an excecutable on my Mac calledQT Creator. It's unclear whether this has installed the QT framework or not, because quite frankly, something about theqt.iowebsite does not agree with themacOS Safaribrowser making basic navigation more like pulling teeth. Freezes left right and centre. I'm just about to fire up Firefox and see if I can investigate theqt.ioa little more easily... -
If you have the online installer, you should be able to select one or more Qt pre-built package and not just Qt Creator.
