QuickStart¶
Install Qt4_GenGUI¶
The easiest way to install Qt4_GenGUI is:
pip install qt4_gengui
OR on Linux
sudo pip install qt4_gengui
OR perhaps
pip install --user qt4_gengui
In case of error, see pip Error Messages
Installation From Source¶
Much less common, but if installing from source, then
the best way to install qt4_gengui is still pip
.
After navigating to the directory holding Qt4_GenGUI source code, do the following:
cd full/path/to/qt4_gengui
pip install -e .
OR on Linux
sudo pip install -e .
OR perhaps
pip install --user -e .
This will execute the local setup.py
file and insure that the pip-specific commands in setup.py
are run.
pip Error Messages¶
If you get an error message that pip
is not found, see https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html for full description of pip
installation.
There might be issues with pip
failing on Linux with a message like:
InsecurePlatformWarning
or
Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
Certain Python platforms (specifically, versions of Python earlier than 2.7.9) have the InsecurePlatformWarning. If you encounter this warning, it is strongly recommended you upgrade to a newer Python version, or that you use pyOpenSSL.
Also pip
may be mis-configured and point to the wrong PyPI repository.
You need to fix this global problem with pip
just to make python usable on your system.
If you give up on upgrading python or fixing pip
,
you might also try downloading the qt4_gengui source package
(and all dependency source packages)
from PyPI and installing from source as shown above at Installation From Source
