# Deploying Qt Apps
By deploying, we mean copying the necessary files from a project folder hierarchy to produce a folder of files containing an .exe which is self-contained.

## Windows
See [here](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/windows-deployment.html).

Use `windeployqt`:
```
cd /to/dir/of/ # myapp.exe, e.g. cd qt/example if the exe is qt/example/example.exe
windeployqt example.exe
```
This will copy the necessary dlls into the folder containing `example.exe`
