I'm running this in a folder with main.qml:

$ qmlscene main.qml
qmlscene: could not find a Qt installation of ''

Then I checked

$ qtchooser -list-versions
4
5
qt4-x86_64-linux-gnu
qt4
qt5-x86_64-linux-gnu
qt5

... and tried

$ sudo qmlscene -qt=qt5-x86_64_linux-gnu main.qml
qmlscene: could not find a Qt installation of 'qt5-x86_64_linux-gnu'
