Install and Setup PyQt6 and Qt Designer [PyQt6 tutorial]

[@pedroayala6818]

Thanks Hala, this is a very straight forward tutorial, it took me no time to have PyQt6 and Qt Designer set to Rock & Roll

[@TheJpsj02]

Thank you so much for the very informative tutorial!

Python 3.12.2 & .3 WITH pyqt6-tools 6.4.2.3.3 gives errors when trying to install PyQt6 tools , so if your having a lot of errors like me, maybe try installing an older version of python / pyqt

[@Somedifflove]

If anyone is having problems installing pyqt5 make sure you are running python version 3.9.13 because that is the version it is currently compatible with

[@jorgemoreno3655]

Muchas gracias, me sirvió de mucho el tutorial.

Is there a way to change the colour of the title bar? any workarounds?

[@joeking5211]

Superb direct to the point vid. Just a comment for others following along to say this will NOT work if your Python 3 is later than 3.9, so if any viewers are having errors when installing the 'PyQt6-Tools' this will be the reason. I installed the latest Python 3.11 and did not work, uninstalled this installed Python 3.9.5 and then followed this video and all worked fine. Many many thks for this. One last note, why I did this I have no idea as I have never programmed in Python before but I used pip3 to do the installing, so any of you command lines that start with pip i used pip3, can you comment on why you used pip and I'm am only assuming that pip3 goes with python3 ???. Thks again.

[@ZzMegatadzZ]

thks for the comment joe, it helped me with the installation

[@pancake8133]

In Windows, pip and pip3 work the same but for Linux/Mac "pip" is used for python 2 and pip3 is for python 3+

[@tapafon_red]

To get PyQt6-tools working on Python 3.13, I had to install ~7GB of MS build tools (basically Visual Studio 2022 Community minus GUI).

[@joeking5211]

@@tapafon_red WOW, I'm lost as to why there cos ifI had to that I would not be using it, as I cannot get VSC or VScodium to do ANYTHING here, to me it's the biggest load of MS obfuscated cryptic bloatware I have ever seen in the last 40+ years of (play) programming. It just does not work on my system at all, despite the world and his dog supposed be using it, I have absolute contempt for it, but it is free so how can I complain. But best of luck with that, it may be worth another go from scratch on another PC or a VM as that sounds strange to me. Rgds.

Nice tutorial, though I'm not sure that it was ever followed up with more tutorials on Qt6 as mentioned

[@cooolbyj]

Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.

[@JustQerq]

You need to install qt6 first and make sure that qmake directory is in the PATH system variable

[@mayank139]

Thanks for the Video !!! It was very Helpful for me ... BTW, I have Qt C++ already installed in my computer, so Qt designer is also installed along with it. So, do I need to download the Designer again to use it with python ?

[@codefirstwithhala]

Nope, as long as you can output the .ui files from any QtDesigner, you're good to go 👍

Hello, First of all I am new to your channel. Secondly I have no hearing or comprehension issues of any kind. My... I guess comment/complaint is the speed at which you are speaking. To someone that is completely familiar with the subject matter all the words that you are saying may be flowing smoothly and fully understandable. However to someone that is totally new to the subject having information or instructions spoken with the words just running from one directly into another makes it very difficult to follow what it is that you are saying. The words seem to run together. It is exactly like trying to read something that is typed that has no or very few spaces or punctuation. I now know what my mother-in-law feels like. She is quite hard of hearing and I speak with an intentional 1/4 to 1/2 second between each word so that she can understand what I am saying. It makes repeating myself much less necessary. I backed up and replayed parts of the video as many as 5 times in order to catch what was being said because of words just flowing from one directly into another. Which is fine between people that fully know the subject. However the purpose of the video would self defeating if it was a learning or educational video to teach those that knew the subject well enough to follow without any issues at all. They probably would not need the video assist. I learned decades ago when teaching that you must speak in such a way as to make what you are saying understandable and can be followed with ease. The primary goal of those listening is focusing to understand what the idea being communicated is however, to preempt that with trying to just understand and follow the words that are spoken in it's place causes following and absorbing the information being given a secondary task that is absolutely dependent upon the first being successfully done. I know I am long winded and ADHD and tend to run on. I am not bitching or being an ass by no means just conveying my problems with watching and learning from your video and your gracious sharing of information. I usually just go on to the next video until I find one that has both speech and video because it is always best to have both. And your voice is not one that is offensive or grating as some one here are. So I figured the best solution would be to be informative and maybe help alleviate what I see as the only issue with the video. Thank You Dooleyjlt
