  • Excellent package, but a bit tricky to install. I have installed it in the past on Linux Fedora, and now on Linux Mint, and each time I find myself adding to my notes because something always goes awry... So here are a few pointers, as it is a pity to give up on eric just because of a tricky install procedure. If on Linux, it is likely you will get missing PyQt5 dependencies messages. It is important to know whether you are installing this into a virtual environment, or into your global system installation of Python (not recommended!). To resolve the missing PyQt5 dependencies issue, you can try running this command (run all commands without quotation marks): "pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel" If this runs successfully, then run: "pip install PyQt5" If this runs successfully, then you can install eric using: "python3 install.py" This should ask whether you wish to install all other missing dependencies, and then it finally installs eric. Hope this helps.

    An even easier way is to just run this command: "pip3 install eric-ide".
  • environment without a binary installer? is the author still in school? via pip it is not installed, and yes, the syntax indicated on your site is visible for version 2 of python.
  • Eric is a very good editor. – If you can install it. Bus this is always a problem. With every update the same. The install routine says that QtWebEngine is not installed. This is wrong, it is, so here is nothing to do. After some hours of searching an trying it works. But is it not possible to write the install script so that it works? A little bit down I read: »Reply from Eric Integrated Development Environment Posted 2019-04-06 Meanwhile the install script does install the prerequisites from PyPi using pip.« This is not true. It doesn’t. It even doesn’t use the prerequisites which are installed.
  • How in the world do you install the update in Ubuntu
  • It is a little bit difficult to use but it is full of features not met in other IDEs. It has support for building GUI applications with Qt.
  • Apart from slight confusion about how to install it, it works like a dream. I am on Windows 10 laptop
  • I had high hopes for this development environment, and the easy install feeling lasted under a minute. I signed in as root and did the indicated "python install.py" expecting the usual. Then came the big disappointment... If the required packages (Qt5/4, QScintilla2, sip and PyQt5/4) are not installed, please get them and install them in the following order (order is important). 1. Install Qt5 (from The Qt Company) 2. Build and install QScintilla2 (from Riverbank Computing) 3. Build and install sip (from Riverbank Computing) 4. Build and install PyQt5 (from Riverbank Computing) 5. Build and install QScintilla2 Python bindings (part of the QScintilla2 package) 6. Install eric6 I am unwilling to go through all this just to try out a piece of software. All the batteries are included, except all the ones that aren't. As an afterthought let me add. If you are going to write a software application that leverages off of a bunch of other people's work (with attribution) I guess that's ok. I don't see why you couldn't go to a little more trouble and either bundle the resources needed, or at least provide a smart installer that can manage the installation of the prerequisites.

  • Very Nice IDE, file structure in the side list panel is a great feature. Your efforts is more than appreciated.
  • This is an excellent IDE for Python and more
  • Excellent IDE for Python work. Installs easily, works really well; nice and flexible.
  • It's my prefered IDE. Thank you
  • This is the fourth time and 4 different versions I have tried to get to install. Never ever works. Troubleshooting gets me to the install.py as being at fault every time! I am learning Python and should not have to troubleshoot your install script. It has never been able to find the PyQT install location even when it is in my "Path" statement. This version is looking for "PyQT5.Core" when the actual PyQT5 install is labeled "QT5Core.dll"! So I ask "How can anyone possibly get this to install?!!" I am having trouble getting PyQT to do what I want so thought this IDE would add to the features enough to help me out. The PyQT5 "Designer" and "Assistant" work perfectly so why is this such a pain? For general info, I am on Win 7 x64. I have been using PyCharm but it does not have a GUI Builder so thought I would try this way. At this point I'm thinking of just going the route of "Build Your Own" and sticking with PyCharm since it is just the best! Thanks and maybe I'll try again next year!
  • just commenting complaints about installation on Windows OS: which I'd like to address here: Actually it was a piece of cake to install it with the following installation steps: 1 --> Python3.4 (still need to check, whether it works with Python3.5 as well) 2 --> Qt package (in my case qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw492-5.5.1.exe) 3 --> PyQt package (PyQt5-5.5.1-gpl-Py3.4-Qt5.5.1-x32.exe) with QScintilla 4 --> eric6-6.0.11 (important: in a shell with admin rights!) I was close to be lost as well with installing eric on Win OS, which in my view mainly stems from an outdated / imprecise description at the eric homepage. Hope, this does the trick for others as well ...
  • There is no way install and run this project! I am using Windows7 x64 OS .. I tried again and again to install Eric6; Too much complicated installation process. I lost 3 days for try to use that project! But no way! Is someone install and run Eric IDE on Windows x64 system?! There dozen source code; But there is not a 1 click installation progress! I installed Qt5; PyQt; QScintilla2; sip but not running!

  • Hello Eric 6 doesnot work at all with Python 3.4.2 & PyQt5, I've made installation in the sequence: Python-->PyQt-->Eric 6, but the console tells me it cannot find PyQt5, why? how to solve?

  • Un IDE completo di debug complimenti ai programmatori!
  • Great python open-source project: easy to debug other python and django projects!!
  • Does not compile on Mint17 ('module' object has no attribute '__all__'). I was looking for an IDE to study Python, but you have to know python to install an IDE. It is a Monty Python suggestion, i presume.
  • quite good and multiplatform
  • Very nice IDE especially for Python/PyQT projects.
  • Excellent IDE. Just wish it would install on Mac OS X 10.8.4. QScintilla seems to be my problem. At least as far as an easy install of PyQt so that I can get Eric4 running.
  • Thanks for Eric-ide, it's excellent!
