Qt creator: qmake is not recognized

I am trying to understand 'qmake' by following this tutorial . but when I come the the following command:

qmake -o Makefile hello.pro

my command line console shows me this message:

'qmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

I understood that qmake is part of Qt creator and thus it should be executed whenever I run it within my project's folder. so, why it is not recognized ?

Sorry my friend, i don´t speak English very well.

In Qt 5.10.1 I resolved this problem running the command prompt in the next path, C:\Qt\5.10.1\mingw53_32>, after you need change the directory where is the file hello.pro and run the commnand qmake -o Makefile hello.pro after you can see the makefile in the respective folder.

In the start menu entry that was created by the installer for Qt, you should find an item that opens a command prompt with all the needed environment variables (including the PATH) already set. For my Qt 5.0.2 install using MingW, it is called "Qt 5.0.2 for Desktop (MinGW 4.7)".

On Windows, you can add path to qmake to PATH or run qmake from directory where it placed, or use absolute path.
