View source for Installpyqt5osx


The following tutorial is based on [http://robscurity.blogspot.tw/2015/02/installing-pyqt-on-mac-os-x-yosemite.html Robscurity].

On the Mac OS X computer, create a folder called Sources

Downloading stuff into folder Sources:

    Download PyQt - https://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqt/files/PyQt5/PyQt-5.6/PyQt5_gpl-5.6.tar.gz/download

    Download sip - http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqt/files/sip/sip-4.18/sip-4.18.tar.gz

    Download Qt - http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/online_installers/qt-opensource-mac-x64-online.dmg


Uncompress files:

Doubleclick on PyQt-gpl-5.6.0.tar.gz and sip-4.18.tar.gz to uncompress.



Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal

Note 1: Don´t forget to use python3 command instead of python
Note 2: I use robert as username in this example

In Terminal:

$ cd /Users/<yourname>/Desktop/Sources

$ cd sip-4.18
                  #cd into the folder sip-4.18
$ python configure.py -d /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ --arch x86_64
                  # —arch in my case is x86_64 since I have MacBook Pro. 

$ cd make

$ sudo make install
