How to create an environment variable in Qt Installer framework regardless of OS












0















How can I add a new Environment Variable to the Qt installer. I know that it should go in the .qs script something like the following:



var path = installer.environmentVariable("PATH") + ";" + installer.value("TargetDir");
component.addElevatedOperation("EnvironmentVariable","PATH",path,true);


I'm trying the above on Linux, but it's complaining about EnvironmentVariable not existing when I install my program.

    As specified in the Documentation, this is currently only supported on windows. You will have perform that step manually on linux. See stackoverflow.com/a/26962251/3767076 to get started
