Hi, New to linex and python, I am trying to use centos 7 server for development, So I installed python 3.6 to use it for development without interfering with the system python 2.7 - For development I need to install PyQt5 and Qt packages, So I installed PyQt5 by using but for the Qt5 Should I install it as the command is not working and also Can you please help. Thanks

"pip3" takes care of compiling "PyQt5" for your specific Qt5 version.

So the minimum build requirement is # yum install qt5-qtbase-devel

Sorry I am a beginner, Would you please explain more the steps I should follow to install it for python3 only and not to interfere with the system python 2.7.

Thanks

Re #3.

The system python2.7 is usually only disturbed by changes made to python2.7, and to the system python2.7 applications used by yum and all other administrative tools.
... And if you install an alien python 3 to /usr/bin/python

----------------
A safe way is e.g. the devtoolset-6 python35
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/sc...h/rh-python35/
Ref. https://www.softwarecollections.org/.../devtoolset-6/

"devtoolset-7" : # yum install centos-release-scl-rh

Package overview http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/sclo/x86_64/rh/
pip3, pip3.5 is available: rh-python35-python-pip > /opt/rh/rh-python35/root/usr/bin/
---------------

Or : The python34 from the EPEL repo
https://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/p/
EPEL https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epe...t-7.noarch.rpm
# cd Downloads/ && yum install epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

pip3, pip3.4 : python34-pip > /usr/bin/{ pip3, pip3.4 }.

What errors were you getting from using the above commands? Why don't you try the command below:

As for qt5, do the following requirements for the development host:

before

Besides, you may not get the full functionalities of qt because it's not completely free.

Hope this helps!

I have installed I am trying to install PyQt5 and Qt5 on python 3 only for development use, so I created the virtualenv and activate it, Installed PyQt5 and other module but can't install Qt5 packages, It should be included with PyQt5 but when I run it gives me the following error and if I run or it gives the The error: when I use it says that I have to be root, when I go to root it gives the following: Is qt5 included with PyQt5 package or I need to download it from source? If I need to download it, How can I make it install for python 3 only (Which folder in the virtualenv should I put the downloaded file into before I run it).

Thanks

To decide what can be installed with yum, you will have to know the package names.
Yum does not accept typos / spell errors !

Read the above posts. Some package names have already been mentioned.
And search for package names : # yum search qt5
# yum install qt5-qtbase-devel

# yum grouplist
# yum groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries" ( or whatever the naming is ).
! Do no typos. Missing double quotes or other errors : No "groupinstall" will take place !
