Can not install qt 6.4.2

[bhargavah]

Hi Team,

I am trying to install Qt 6.4.2 into my Mac OS Monterey, 12.6.3 since long and every time I start the online installer process, it said 'File not found' and an reference to the file along with its mirror.

I thought it might be an cache issue and I cleared the local cache by clicking here at 'Clear Cache'.

Post I cleaned the cache, I started to hit another problem and that is 'Network error while downloading' like this:

Any leads would be nice. Thanks a lot.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You might be using a faulty mirror. Did you try to use a different one ?

@SGaist I got the same issue. How to try another mirror?

I know this is not really helpful, but all I can say is I successfully installed Qt6.4.2 on Mac.

I'm not 100% certain this was Tuesday evening, but if not this was Wednesday morning. So if there's a problem with Qt's repository (and there's now 3 posts suggesting for a problem, all later from my install), it's really recent problem.

@thamht4190 take a look at this wiki page.

I could finally installed Qt 6.4.2 after restarting my Mac. I've been required to update before adding Qt 6.4.2, so I guess after updating, my computer must restart to continue the work.

@SGaist Hi.
Trying another mirror help me move forward for the installation. Thanks.

@bhargavah It doesn't look like you're calling Qt installer. Try:

./installer --mirror http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/download.qt-project.org

@jsulm Hey. How do I get this ./installer. I do not have this in my machine at all.

I was trying to download the online installer from:
https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer
And then 'Qt Online Installer for macOS'.

This is getting confusing to me now.

Questions like:

If I need to install Qt through installer, I download the file and it starts an gui. It gives the errors which is pasted at the original question. You suggested me to change the mirror. And that too with ./installer. How do I get this installer?

[jsulm]

@bhargavah On MacOS do the following:

1. Extract content of the installer (double click on the downloaded install dmg file and copy its content to somewhere
2. Go to the folder where extracted installer content is located
3. Execute: qt-unified-macOS-x64-4.5.2-online.app/Contents/MacOS/qt-unified-macOS-x64-4.5.2-online --mirror YOUR_MIRROR

@jsulm Thanks a lot man! I am able to have Qt in my machine finally. Cheers!

@bhargavah We can close this topic. Issue was the mirror itself. I think QT scripts should pick the scripts themselves in case a mirror is not available. Shouldn't they automate?

[jsulm]

@bhargavah I think there is a change request somewhere in https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/Dashboard.jspa for that
