"If the installer crashes for you, then report the crash to Qt." "As" was dead wrong, so why do you pretend to be correcting me here? There is a huge difference between "as" and "via". It's shipped *via* an installer (as I see you have now in fact changed the text to read). "The point still stands that you need the online installer to be able to install Qt5.8 therefor it *is* the way that it is shipped." "The Qt installer version is entirely separate from the Qt you'll install, we have no control over the version and it quite frankly doesn't even matter." If you want developers to join, volunteering their time for free, they shouldn't have to waste their time with this kind of nonsense. If development requires 5.8 as you say above, then why is this offhand remark about 5.4.2 even included here? If I'm going to "develop" the current version of MuseScore, which is 2.1, then this tells me I need 5.4.2, but you tell me I need 5.8. Huh? This sounds contradictory, leaves one scratching one's head. " To build any 2.x version of MuseScore, you need Qt 5.4.2 though." " By default it will install Qt 5.8 in your home directory." To download, a user has to sign up for a 30-day trial at Qt, which includes giving out a phone number. " Download, open the DMG and run the online installer." There is a separate app, called "Qt installer" which is currently at version 3.0.0 They are poorly written and contain wrong and misleading information: Obviously things have changed a little since then. I have Qt version 2.1 installed on my machine from 2011, and at that time Qt could be downloaded directly from the web. You might also want to say something about having to open an account at Qt and sign up for a 30 day trial in order to download Qt. The current installer version I see is 3.0.0. Below we refer to the version name of the installer, 5.8, but you will be running Qt 5.4.2." <- actually that still doesn't make sense. Install only version Qt 5.4.2, as newer versions currently exhibit bugs when compiling MuseScore. Download the Qt online installer 3.0 (not 5.8?) (OS 10.7+). Please change it to something clearer, like:

Something so basic and important should not be written in such an unclear and offhand manner.


To build any 2.x version of MuseScore, you need Qt 5.4.2 though." By default it will install Qt 5.8 in your home directory. Download, open the DMG and run the online installer. Qt 5.8 is shipped as a online installer, suitable for 10.7+. Okay, I see now what this is trying to tell me:
