How can I install PyQt5 on Mac?

Question

I am trying to install PyQt5 on my Mac but I do not know how to use it well. I have tried to install sip doing

cd ~/Downloads/sip-4.17
python configure.py
         


        

Answer 1

You need to install SIP first, which is not just running configure.py:

>>> cd ~/Downloads/sip-4.17
>>> python configure.py
>>> make
>>> make install

Then you can install PyQt5:

>>> cd ~/Downloads/PyQt-gpl-5.5.1
>>> python configure.py --qmake /Users/name/Qt/5.5/clang_64/bin/qmake
>>> make
>>> make install
