Install Qt on Fedora Linux
-
I am using Fedora 40. It seems like the Fedora 40 installer installed qt files that I did not request but did not install the necessary qt-creator.
Please see below. It shows the 27 qt files that were installed during a standard installation, none of which are qt-creator. I assume I would also have to install qt-creator and perhaps other ones to use qt.
It seems like Fedora is forcing me to install qt with their repository, not doing it properly, and not giving me the chance to use the qt install from qt.io.
I know I am missing something, please help.

This is of course wrong.
If you want to use the official Qt Online Installer then download it and install Qt/QtCreator.
Fedora installed some Qt packages because some software needs Qt to work. It did not install everything because you did not ask it to do so.
Fedora also provides QtCreator, so install qt-creator.x86_64 if you don't want to use Online Installer.
