About:
aqtinstall is a command-line tool that downloads and installs Qt Framework SDK components directly from the official Qt servers without requiring the Qt Maintenance Tool. It provides a programmatic and scriptable alternative to the standard Qt installer, enabling developers to automate the setup of specific Qt versions and modules for CI/CD pipelines and development environments.

Key Features:

Command-line interface for easy automation
Supports Linux, macOS, and Windows
Downloads specific Qt versions and modules (e.g., QtWebEngine, QtCharts)
Works without the official Qt installer GUI

Use Cases:

Automating Qt installation in CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
Setting up reproducible development environments
Downloading specific Qt modules for cross-platform development

Alternatives:

Qt Online Installer – Official GUI-based installer; requires manual interaction and is not designed for automation.
Homebrew Qt Formulae – Installs Qt via package manager but may offer fewer versions or module customization options compared to aqtinstall.
