Qt installator doesn't show components in Ubuntu 22.04

CarlosC

I'm trying to install Qt 5.15.2 in Ubuntu but when I execute the installer it only shows this
I tried to change the filters but I got the same.

In Windows i didn't have this problem. What can I do? Thanks!

@Abderrahmene_Rayene I did "sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev" , after this I ran the qt installer and the components appeared in the installer.

@CarlosC
Before you go any further. Are you aware that your version of Ubuntu already has a complete Qt 5.x built and available to you to download (e.g. via apt-get install) Version depends on your Ubuntu, but for example Ubuntu 22.04 supplies Qt 5.15.3.

Unless you have particular special needs, I would highly recommend you use the Qt version supplied with your distro rather than trying to build it. The supplied one is ready-built, it requires no compilation and is ready to use.

@JonB I dont know what you mean, I have installed Qt 5 Assistant, Designer and Linguist, but when I open Qt Creator I dont have any kits to compile my project (thats why Im trying to install them by Qt installer).

I'm building an application in Windows but I have to test it in Windows, Android and Linux, thats the reason why I'm trying to do this.
Thanks for your answer.

Hi,

If you used your distribution package manager to install these tools, you likely did not install Qt's dev packages hence your issue.

@SGaist I downloaded qt-unified-linux-x64-4.5.2-online.run, when I run it I only can choose Qt Insight Tracker.
The other tools I mentioned before i didnt want to install them.

How do I install the dev packages?
Thanks

@CarlosC the dev packages are the same as the libraries packages but ending in -dev.
