I'm trying to install PyQt5.15.4 on a remote desktop that is not connected to internet (Anaconda distribution and PyCharm installed), hence I downloaded the tar.gz files from https://pypi.org/project/PyQt5/#files and tried to use this solution : Python import library from tar.gz? (it worked for other libraries I had to install such as python-docx). The problem is that there is no setup.py file. There is a configure.py file (I imagine it roughly do the same job), so I tried in cmd :

python configure.py install --prefix=<full path folder I used for other libraries I needed>

but I get:

Usage: python configure.py [opts] [name=value] [name+=value]

configure.py: error: no such option: --prefix

Do you have a tip ?

Download PyQT5 from here. https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pypi/packages/PyQt5/PyQt5-5.15.5.dev2108100905.tar.gz#md5=b39c03d821123c37715daffb0c1c3bb1

This will download tar.gz fie. open the terminal, CD through the relative path, paste the command here.

pip install PyQt5-5.15.5.dev2108100905.tar.gz

if you have your own tar.gz. Then use the name of that file, which will install automatically.

pip install yourfile.tar.gz

Please let me know if that works

    Thanks for your answer. I found an other way : I copied/pasted the PyQt5 files from updated Anaconda sites-packages on an other computer (connected to internet) and it worked ! I'll try your solution if I encounter a problem. – MER Sep 03 '21 at 06:18
