    \title Get and Install Qt
    \brief Downloading and installing with \QOI or \QMT.

    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, macOS, or Windows
    \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.

    \section1 Using \QMT

    Once Qt is installed, you can use \QMT under <install_dir>
    to add components and to update or remove installed components. \QMT is
    included in each Qt installation.

    For more information about how to use \QMT with the command line
    interface, see \l{Get and Install Qt with Command Line Interface}.

    \section1 Building Qt from sources

    You can also build Qt yourself. This can be useful in many
    scenarios, for example, if no prebuilt packages exist for your
    platform, if you need to modify Qt during debugging, or if you plan
    to contribute to Qt. See \l{Building Qt Sources} for instructions on
    obtaining the Qt source code, information about Qt's prerequisites,
    and guidelines on configuring and building Qt.

    \section1 Copying a Qt installation to another host

    It's best practice to perform a clean installation on each host that uses
    Qt. However, if you need to copy a Qt installation to another host, you
    need to do some extra configuring for the commercial license check to work
    properly. To ensure that the commercial license check works as expected
    in the copied Qt installation, carry out the steps in
    \l {Copying a Qt or QA installation to another computer}.
