No valid kits found in QT

Question

I am trying to create my first project using the QT.

Here is the problem I am getting into:

I am using Windows, so, the first solution from here does not apply to me.

What should I do to create a basic project in QT? It seems so painful to do that.

I think that the problem might is that I did not install QT itself, but just a QT creator. But when I try to install the latest version of QT from over here its size is more than 7Gb and when I come 30% over the installation it just closes and deletes the folder in which I try to install it.

A Qt kit is detected by Qt Creator by its respective qmake. You Qt Creator simply can't find a qmake. If you have installed Qt properly all you need to do it is to add the location of qmake to the PATH variable.

The size of the download (7GB) of Qt seems rather odd. If your installation has failed (according to your post it does when the installer hits 30%), needless to say you cannot expect to have a functioning Qt hence Qt Creator will also not be useful in this situation.

Where should the `qmake` be? – hellomates May 14 '18 at 15:54
Inside the `bin` directory wherever you have installed your Qt (I'm guessing in C:\Qt or something similar). – rbaleksandar May 14 '18 at 15:56
I do not have the `qmake` there even though I really should. Will try reinstalling the QT. – hellomates May 14 '18 at 16:10
@ЯрикТроф I would recommend downloading the installation package again (or at least verify the download with md5 if possible) – Aditya May 14 '18 at 19:44
