\title Getting Started with Qt
\brief A quick guide for developers
Qt Framework and tools can be installed using an online installer,
offline installers, or by building the source packages yourself.
The \e{online installers} give you the option to download or install only
certain modules or add-ons. An \e{offline installer} is a single package
which contains all of Qt and Add-Ons relevant for a target platform.
The open-source versions are found at the \l Downloads page
and the commercial versions are available for a free trial from
\l{Try Qt Enterprise}{Digia}.
You can use the Qt installers to download and install the following
components:
\list
\li Qt libraries, prebuilt for a particular development platform (operating
system and compiler)
\li Qt Creator integrated development environment (IDE)
\li Reference Documentation and examples
\li Qt in source code form (needed only if you want to build the framework and
tools yourself)
\li Add-On components that are relevant for different platforms
\endlist
After downloading, start the installer like any executable on the
development platform. Select the components that you want to install and
follow the instructions of the installation program to complete the
installation.
Use the Maintenance Tool under \e{<install_dir>} to add, update, or remove
installed components.
\section2 Platform Requirements
