Installing Squish for Qt
Using a Binary Package
You can install Squish for Qt on Windows, and on Unix-like systems such as Linux, macOS, and Embedded Linux.
For testing Java or Web applications, native macOS or Windows applications, or Qt applications using a standard shared library, install Squish from a binary package.
Once the binary package is unpacked, you can start Squish IDE:
- On Windows: <SQUISHDIR>
\squishide.exe
- On Unix: <SQUISHDIR>
/squishide
- On macOS: <SQUISHDIR>
/squishide.app
For testing Qt applications on mobile devices, see:
- Installing Squish for Qt for Android testing
- Installing Squish for Qt for iOS testing
- Installing Squish for Qt for WebAssembly testing
Note: iPhone and iPad applications can only be tested on Apple hardware, either on the devices themselves or on simulators that run under macOS.
Building from Source
You cannot use a standard build to test applications built with a non-standard Qt library, such as a debug library, or running on a platform that is not supported. Instead, you must create and use a custom build of Squish from source packages:
- Installing Squish for Qt from Source Packages
- Installing Squish for Qt from Embedded Source Packages
- Solving Build Errors
Note: The prebuilt binary packages are built against release versions of the Qt libraries, not against the debug versions. To use Squish with Qt debug libraries, you need to build Squish from source against the same version of Qt, as described in in Installing Squish for Qt from Source Packages.
Before building from sources, read Configure Switches, to learn about the options that are available to you when you run configure.
