Step 2: Create a new project

To create a new project, do the following:

1. Choose File > New File or Project. When you create a new project, Qt Creator looks like the figure below.
   
   
2. Select Qt Gui Application and click Choose.
3. Name your project HelloWorld and set the project path where you want to store the project files. For example, this could be C:\QtWork. Click Next to continue.
   
   
4. Select the required targets. Since we use only Qt Simulator, we choose Qt Simulator - Simulator Qt for MinGW 4.4 and uncheck the rest of the options, if they are checked. Click Next.
   
   
5. Specify the basic information about the classes for which we want to generate skeleton source code files. Change the base class to QWidget and accept other default values. Click Next.
   
   
6. To create the project, click Finish.
