How to install the Qt6 version of the QML Runtime Tool?

RokeJulianLockhart

As github.com/qt/qtdoc/blob/6f57506953cc1efaf474368393ecb1df38c9f46a/doc/src/qmlapp/qml.qdoc explains, the qml tool has allowed me in the past (when developing with Qt5) to run .QML files from the terminal, without needing to get IDE-specific stuff like github.com/orcun-gokbulut/qml-debug/blob/69b74cf92e547fb7383f8aa6f03ddea71fadfd4b/README.md#description working.

However, although installing qt5-qtdeclarative-5.15.13-1.fc40 allows me to run qml, I intend to utilize Qt6, and qt6-qtdeclarative-6.7.0-2.fc40 does not install the qml binary to qEnvironmentVariable("PATH"):

```
#!/usr/bin/env sh
dnf provides qml
```

dnf provides qml

Consequently, how am I to acquire the QML Runtime Tool for Qt6?

RokeJulianLockhart

@RokeJulianLockhart, per bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2345428#c1:

The real binary is installed into /usr/lib64/qt6/bin/qml, and symlinked to /usr/bin as qml-qt6 to not conflict with the Qt5 version.

@BEEDELL-ROKE-JULIAN-LOCKHART said in How to install the Qt6 version of the QML Runtime Tool?:

does not install the qml binary to $PATH.

Does it install it in the bin directory of the Qt installation?

RokeJulianLockhart

@GrecKo, apologies for the wait. Do you know how to ascertain where that is? I ask because I didn't choose a location, so it must have been predetermined.
