Settings
The [aqt]
section configures basic behavior.
- concurrency:
concurrency
is a setting how many download concurrently starts. It should be a integer value.- baseurl:
baseurl
is a URL of Qt download site. When you have your own Qt download site repository, you can set it here. It is as same as--base
option.- 7zcmd:
It is a command name of 7-zip. When
aqtinstall
is installed without recommended librarypy7zr
, it is used to extract archive instead ofpy7zr
library. When--external
option specified, a value is override with option’s one.- print_stacktrace_on_error:
print_stacktrace_on_error
is eitherTrue
orFalse
. TheTrue
setting causes a stack trace to be printed to stderr any time an error occurs that will end the program. TheFalse
setting will hide the stack trace, unless an unhandled exception occurs.
The [requests]
section controls the way that aqt
makes network requests.
- connection_timeout:
connection_timeout
is a timeout in second for connection. It is passed torequests
library.- response_timeout:
response_timeout
is a timeout in second how much time waiting for response. It is passed torequests
library.- max_retries:
Deprecated; please do not use this setting. It has been replaced by the
- max_retries_on_connection_error:
max_retries_on_connection_error
is an integer that controls how many timesaqt
will try to reconnect to the server in the case of a connection error.- retry_backoff:
retry_backoff
is a floating point number that controls how longaqt
will sleep between failed connection attempts. Setting this value too low will hammer the server, and may result in no successful connections at all.- max_retries_on_checksum_error:
This setting controls how many times
aqt
will attempt to download a file, in the case of a checksum error.
The [mirrors]
section is a configuration for mirror handling.
- blacklist:
It is a list of URL where is a problematic mirror site. Some mirror sites ignore a connection from IP addresses out of their preffered one. It will cause connection error or connection timeout. There are some known mirror sites in default. When you are happy with the default sites, you can override with your custom settings.
- fallbacks:
It is a list of URL where is a good for access. When mirror site cause an error, aqt use fallbacks when possible. You can find a list of mirrors at: https://download.qt.io/static/mirrorlist/
