This is an utility replacing the official graphical Qt installer. It can
automatically download prebuilt Qt binaries for any target (you're not bound to
Linux binaries on Linux; you could also download iOS binaries).
It's working with Python > 3.5 on Linux, OS X and Windows.
It is required to install 7zip utility in your platform.

Install
-------

Same as usual, it can be installed with `pip`

.. code-block:: bash

    $ pip install aqtinstall

Usage
-----

General usage looks like this:

.. code-block:: bash

    aqt [-h][--help][-O | --outputdir <directory>][-b | --base <mirror url>][-E | --external <7zip command>] \
        [--internal] install <qt-version> <host> <target> [<arch>] -m [extra module] [extra module]...

.. code-block:: bash

    python -m aqt [-h][--help][-O | --outputdir <directory>][-b | --base <mirror url>][-E | --external <7zip command>] \
        [--internal] install <qt-version> <host> <target> [<arch>] -m [extra module] [extra module]...

* The Qt version is formatted like this: `5.11.3`
* Host is one of: `linux`, `mac`, `windows`
* Target is one of: `desktop`, `android`, `ios` (iOS only works with mac host)
* For some platforms you also need to specify an arch:
    * For windows, choose one of: `win64_msvc2017_64`, `win32_msvc2017`, `win64_msvc2015_64`, `win32_msvc2015`, 
      `win64_mingw73`, `win32_mingw73`, `win64_mingw53`, `win32_mingw53`, `win64_msvc2017_winrt_x64`, 
      `win64_msvc2017_winrt_x86`, `win64_msvc2017_winrt_armv7`
    * For android and Qt 5.13 or below, choose one of: `android_x86_64`, `android_arm64_v8a`, `android_x86`, 
      `android_armv7`
* You can also use internal 7zip extractor instead of external 7zip command.
* You can specify external 7zip command path.

.. code-block:: bash

    python -m aqt [-h][--help][-O | --outputdir <directory>][-b | --base <mirror url>][-E | --external <7zip command>] \
        [--internal] tool <host> <tool_name> <tool-version> <arch> -m [extra module] [extra module]...

* tool_name is one of `tools_ifw`, `tools_vcredist`, and `tools_openssl`.
* arch is full qualified tool name such as `qt.tools.ifw.31`

The Qt packages are installed under current directory as such `Qt/<ver>/gcc_64/`
If you want to install it in `C:\Qt` as same as standard gui installer default,
run such as follows:

.. code-block:: bash

    C:\> mkdir Qt
    C:\> aqt install --outputdir c:\Qt 5.11.3 windows desktop win64_msvc2017_64


Example: Installing Qt SDK 5.12.0 for Linux with QtCharts and QtNetworkAuth:

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install aqtinstall
    sudo aqt install --outputdir /opt 5.12.0 linux desktop -m qcharts qtnetworkauth


Example: Installing Android (armv7) Qt 5.10.2:

.. code-block:: bash

    aqt install 5.10.2 linux android android_armv7


Example: Install Install FrameWork(IFW):

.. code-block:: bash

    aqt tool linux tools_ifw 3.1.1 qt.tools.ifw.31


Example: Install vcredist:

.. code-block:: bash

    C:\ aqt tool windows tools_vcredist 2019-02-13-1 qt.tools.vcredist_msvc2017_x64
    C:\ .\Qt\Tools\vcredist\vcredist_msvc2017_x64.exe /norestart /q


Example: Install OpenSSL:

.. code-block:: bash

    C:\ aqt tool windows tools_openssl 1.1.1-1 qt.tools.openssl.win_x64


Example: Show help message

.. code-block:: bash

    aqt help
