You can get Qt, its modules and tools via \QOI or \QMT. Via \QOI you can do new installations. \QMT is included in each Qt installation and with it you can update your Qt installation for example by adding and removing components. You can use \QOI and \QMT via a graphical user interface or a command line interface. The command line interface enables installing and uninstalling without any user interaction, that is, unattended usage. To learn the basics of getting and installing Qt, take the \l {https://www.qt.io/academy/course-catalog#how-to-install-qt} {How to Install Qt} course in Qt Academy. \section1 Using \QOI You can download \QOI via \l{https://login.qt.io}{Qt Account} as follows: \list 1 \li Select \uicontrol{Downloads} \li Download \QOI for your host: Linux (ARM64 or x64), macOS, or Windows (ARM64 or x64) \endlist See \l{Get and Install Qt with \QOI} for more information about how to use \QOI. \l{Get and Install Qt with Command Line Interface} describes how you can use \QOI with the command line interface. \image qtinstallercomponents.webp \section1 Using \QMT After you install Qt, use \QMT under to add, update, or remove installed components.
