Tutorial for Qt Quick Application instructing use of a kit which is not available in the default install of Qt Creator
-
The "Creating a Qt Quick Application" page states the following:
Select Qt 6.2 or later kits for the platforms that you want to build the application for.
I am using QtCreator with the following version:
When I try to create a new Qt Quick Application, I only see one kit called "Desktop" available, and this kit does not appear to have Qt 6.2 available:
Why is there no kit available with the version of Qt requested by the tutorial?

Qt Creator --- which is an IDE for developing applications --- version is not the same thing as Qt version which you are compiling for/used by your application.You show a Creator version of 6.x but a Qt version of 5.15. If you want to develop for Qt 6 you need to download/install a Qt 6 from somewhere (such as the Qt site/maintenance tool).
Furthermore from the path of
/usr/lib/qt5/...shown in your kits implies to me you did not download Qt from somewhere yourself, you are using the one which is pre-supplied with your OS (e.g. Ubuntu)? That will likely stay at Qt5 for a while longer.If you want my advice/suggestion: unless you have a pressing need for Qt6 I would stick with Qt5. It has been around a long time and has less bugs....
