After the Qt setup has finished, you should now have Qt Creator installed. Qt Creator is Qt's official IDE, and the recommended IDE for this project. This page shows how to configure Qt Creator for developing this program.

Importing Project

1. Open Qt Creator. On first boot, you should be taken to the home screen. On the screen there should be a button that says Create Project. Click this.

2. This will open a window for creating a project. Click Import Project in the leftmost box and Git Clone in the middle box, then proceed to the next screen. At this point, you will be asked to set up Git if you have not already.

Setting Up Git in Qt Creator

If Qt Creator did not ask you to set up Git after choosing Git Clone, you can skip this section.

1. Click Configure.... This will open the version control settings on the Git tab.

2. You will likely see the word "git" in red text in the Git command: box. This means that Qt Creator cannot find a Git executable. This likely means you will need to install Git.

3. Use these instructions to install Git.

4. Once you have installed and configured Git, you will be presented with the following screen. You must paste the URL of the project Git repository into the Repository: box. To get the URL, you can copy this link (right click->"Copy Link") or use the <> Code dropdown on the main page of the GitHub repository. Use the Path: box to select the path where you would like to save the project folder. Make sure you remember this location!

5. Qt Creator will now clone the repository. Once this has finished, you will be presented with a Configure Project screen. If you selected the correct items during install (see Installing Qt) you should have a compatible kit. Select this kit (if not selected already) and then click Configure Project.

6. Qt Creator should now open the project. Click the build button in the bottom left of the window to ensure that you can build the project.

You can now proceed to Setting Up Project Filesystem.
