ATC-Pie is hard to install.

[chaz.young75]

Hi there. Could somebody tell me easily how to install atc pie because I don't understand the wiki page. It says I need qt5 and Python3, I have Python, but am struggling installing the qt5. The message that appears is:

ERROR: Make sure you have a working qt Qmake on your PATH.

This occurs when I try to run configure.py in the qt5 binding process.

Any help is a great help to me.

Kind Regards,
Charlie

What OS are you on? Assuming windows the easiest way to do it is by installing python 3.4 instead of 3.65. Then reinstall Qt.

I am running Windows 7 x64. I already have Python 3.4 and I don't know whats up.

This looks like you are installing the wrong thing!
Use PINTO's link above to riverbank. You must not install Qt5 but PyQt5.

Thanks everybody for your advice, if you want an easier way - install WINPYTHON, which has PyQt5 built into it.

Aha?
1. if you have a quick and easy step-by-step install procedure or clear tips for Windows users, I will be happy to include them in the README file, so please share.
2. (backtracking a little) if you have seen anywhere that it says to "install Qt5", please report and I shall correct it as it is misleading

Easyist way is to install WINPYTHON with PyQT already installed.
32bit OS: https://sourceforge.net/projects/winpython/files/WinPython_3.4/3.4.4.1/WinPython-32bit-3.4.4.1Qt5.exe/download
64bit OS: https://sourceforge.net/projects/winpython/files/WinPython_3.4/3.4.4.1/WinPython-64bit-3.4.4.1Qt5.exe/download

Then from the directory of ATCpie, run the start command, making sure that the python directory points to <WINPYTHON installation directory>\python-3.X.X.xxxxx\python.exe
