    \title SDK Tool

    \brief Configure CMake and set up compilers, debuggers, devices, Qt versions,
    and kits from the command line.

    \l{Get and Install Qt}{\QOI} uses the SDK Tool (\c sdktool) to configure
    CMake and set \l {Kits}{Kit}
    preferences, such as compilers, debuggers, devices, and Qt versions. You can
    use it from the command line to set Qt and \QC preferences automatically for
    all users of a computer, for example. For a single user, it is usually easier
    to make changes in \preferences > \uicontrol Kits.

    To use the SDK Tool, enter the following command in the \c {Tools\sdktool\bin}
    directory in the Qt installation directory:

    \badcode
    sdktool [OPTION] [OPERATION [OPTIONS]]
    \endcode

    For information about the options and operations that your SDK Tool version
    supports, enter:

    \badcode
    sdktool --help
    \endcode

    \section1 Value Types

    The operations add settings in the form \c {<KEY> <TYPE>:<VALUE>} to the
    configuration that they create. The supported \c TYPE values are:

    \list
        \li \c bool
        \li \c int
        \li \l QByteArray
        \li \l QString
        \li \l QVariantList
    \endlist

    \section1 SDK Path

    \QOI and the \QC stand-alone installer both install \c sdktool. The
    \c sdktool from an installer defaults to the location from where the \QC
    from the installer reads the information that the SDK Tool writes.
    To point \c sdktool to some other \QC installation, set \c --sdkpath
    depending on whether you use \QOI or an offline installer.

    \list
        \li \QOI: \c {<Qt_Online_Installer>/Tools/sdktool}
        \li \QC stand-alone installer:
            \list
                \li On Windows and Linux: \c {<qtcreator>/share/qtcreator/}
                \li On \macos \c {Qt Creator.app/Contents/Resources/}
            \endlist
    \endlist
