You can install and find QT Designer as follows (Windows environment):
- Install latest QT (I'm using 5.8) from QT main site
- Make sure you include 'Qt 5.8 MinGW' component
- QT Designer will be installed in
C:Qt5.8mingw53_32bindesigner.exe
- Note that the executable is named 'designer.exe'
UPDATE - there is an easier way to install QT Designer without downloading GB's of data from QT:
Install the latest version of 'pyqt5-tools' using
pip install pyqt5-tools --pre
The 'designer.exe' will be installed in
...Libsite-packagespyqt5_tools
If you are on macOS and use brew you may have installed qt already using brews installer.
In that case you already have QT Designer installed even though it is not mentioned anywhere.
You can find it here: /usr/local/Cellar/qt/<qtversion>/libexec/Designer.app
So to place it in your local apps folder you can create a symlink to it like this:
install designer using apt package manager
run the command designer
and it will work for you
if it doesn't try /usr/bin/designer
it worked for mei am using python 3.6 with pyqt-5.16
It is there. Create a form, click on the .ui file and it opens automatically.
Install the latest version of 'pyqt5-tools' using pip install pyqt5-tools --pre
Then run the command (designer.exe) then you are good
Expanding StonyBoy answer.If you are on macOS, you have installed Qt5 with brew
, and you want to access the Qt5 Designer app via command line (like on Linux), you can set a symlink to the actual executable as well, like this:
This way, the designer
command will be placed in the bin
folder, together with the other Qt5 executables (as qmake
). Thus, you will be able to launch it simply by typing designer
in your shell.
Note: of course you must have the path of the Qt5 bin/
folder added to your PATH
environmental variable, for being able to directly call designer
in the shell. But brew
added it for you when you installed Qt5.
