Ah I see. That script is not intended to be used by users and developers. We will soon migrate it to a separate repo to prevent confusions like this. We have an open Issue [1] about it.

Regulare users should install BIT only from their official GNU Linux distribution repositories. Of course their are exceptions. And as you explained this is about #1598 [2] and you want to use feature in the current development version not yet released.

In that case it is recommended to use the build & install process targeting developers. See our CONTRIBUTING.md [3] for detailed instructions and a list of dependencies. Currently BIT use a "make" based build system. It do not check for missing dependencies. You have to read carefully the instructions and take care of dependencies yourself. It seems that Ubuntu 22.04 LTS do offer Qt6 [5] and its related Python layer [4].

Kind
Christian
