Can't install the stand-alone Qt Designer on Ubuntu 24.04
-
I've googled, I've searched, I think I've tried 147 apt install and pip installs, I can't get the stand-alone Qt Designer install on my Ubuntu 24.04 box.
I've tried: pip install pyqt6-tools which complains about conflicts with pyqt6-plugins
I've tried sudo apt install libqt6designer6 python3-pyqt6, which says I have already installed it, but there's no designer. I do have pyuic6, to convert the ui file.When I tried to just run designer at the command prompt I got a message to install QtChooser, which I did and now if I enter designer at the command prompt I get: designer: could not find a Qt installation of ''
What am I missing?

Hi,
The system package name is designer-qt6
-
Wow. So running "designer" gave an error message about not finding an installation. After some poking around I found:
/usr/lib/qt6/bin/designer
and that seems to be it. Maybe the installation missed the step to put a link to this executable in /usr/bin ??
Anyway, thank you, I got it. -
If memory serves well, that's where QtChooser comes into play.
