| The ``[qt]`` ensures PyQt5 gets installed, but you can also install PyQt6 or | |
| PySide yourself and miss out the ``[qt]``. | |
| pip install PyQt6 glue-qt # Qt6-based front-end | |
| The ``[qt]`` ensures PyQt5 gets installed and set as the front-end, | |
| but you can also use **instead** an already installed PyQt6 or PySide | |
| front-end, or install it along the glue libraries as above (omitting the ``[qt]``). |
Perhaps clarifying the different options a bit better here? Or maybe we should link/refer to the qtpy documentation how the default front-end is picked or prescribed setting QT_API?

I agree we can expand this a bit more - for now I've pushed an update along the lines you suggest, then let's get this PR in so the instructions are correct, then we can do a follow-up with some improvements.
