<![CDATA[Qt building from source]]>I've already happen to build Qt from source, but lost my backup with instructions

So I just rebuild according to url below
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/linux-building.html
but there is no Qt Creator
should it be installed upon process or I should Install it separately?

j@j:~/dev/qt-build$ ls /usr/local/Qt-6.9.2/bin/

Expect only the core Qt tools, not Qt Creator, when building from source—the IDE must be obtained and set up separately.

Please confirm and I gonna install it with apt

I can confirm this. Installing from apt should work fine.

No, building and installing Qt from source using the official instructions does not install Qt Creator. Qt Creator (the IDE) is a completely separate project and is not part of the Qt library/toolchain sources or installation process.
What You Get

Building Qt from source provides the Qt libraries (core, gui, widgets, etc.), tools (designer, assistant, linguist, qmake, qt-cmake), and utilities.

The executables found in your bin directory match the expected result from a source build, and none are the Qt Creator IDE.

To Install Qt Creator

System package:
Install via package manager:

text
sudo apt install qtcreator

Qt Online Installer/AppImage:
Download the standalone IDE from the official Qt website for the latest version.

After installation, configure Qt Creator to use your custom Qt build by specifying the qmake or CMake toolchain inside its preferences.

Summary:
Expect only the core Qt tools, not Qt Creator, when building from source—the IDE must be obtained and set up separately.

Please confirm and I gonna install it with apt
