Installation - 5.4

The 5.4 installation is different due to some trouble getting it up onto PyPI, this is what you can do in the meantime.

$ pip install git+https://github.com/pyqt/python-qt5.git

You won't need the Redistributable here; as it is included.

Testing out the installation

1. Launch Python
2. Type this in

>>> import sys
>>> from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
>>> app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
>>> button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Hello")
>>> button.setFixedSize(400, 400)
>>> button.show()
