I decided to learn C++ GUI development with Qt5 using Visual Studio Code remotely (for personal preference) and from what I found in order to install Qt from command line, you need to use VCPKG file manager. But as I typed, vcpkg/vcpkg install qt5-base (previously I searched vcpkg/vcpkg search qt and found this package is present), it took really long to process and at the end this error message has pop up:

I have ensured I have both latest versions of VCPKG by running git pull and vcpkg update. In the process it threw me a few warnings:

The reason why I cannot use the official installer is because I run it on GitHub Codespaces and cannot install anything there manually, only using the command prompt. What can I do to resolve this issue and what are the alternative ways to install QT if there are any?
