Cannot locate qmake in Qt5.5 in OS X

I installed Qt5.5, but I am not able to locate the program qmake in Qt installation folder as well as in my user bin. I run a find command in terminal in search for qmake starting from the root directory, but getting no results. When I use the Qt IDE I can compile my source with option of qmake, so I am sure the program qmake is installed.

I would want to add qmake to my path so I can run qmake in command line. Does anyone know is Qt5.5 is hiding qmake somewhere?

OS X Sierra / High Sierra

ln -s /Users/user/Qtx.x.x/x.x/clang_64/bin/qmake /usr/local/bin/qmake

(filling the 'x' with your Qt version)

example Qt 5.8:

ln -s /Users/user/Qt5.8.0/5.8/clang_64/bin/qmake /usr/local/bin/qmake

Either in:

/usr/local/opt/qt5

Or:

/usr/local/opt/qt

qmake is located into bin subfolder of your installed Qt; probably, that directory is not into your path (echo $PATH will show your actual path); if Qt is not present in your $PATH, you can include it; you should have installed Qt inside /usr/local (or /opt/local); add those lines to your .profile file:

PATH=/usr/local/Qt-x.x.x/bin:$PATH
export PATH

(filling the 'x' with your Qt version) and check again with echo $PATH
