Installing PyQt5 Designer on windows

I installed PyQt5 using Windows command window and pip3 install PyQt5 as described in the download page, it was installed successfully. but I didn't found PyQt Designer in the Windows Start Menu so I thought I need to install it separately. After searching various forums, I tried adding it using pip3 install pyqt5-tools it shows Successfully installed pyqt5-tools-5.9.0.1.2 but PyQt Designer wasn't installed.

Is there any way to install PyQt Designer?

My Python version:

>>> python --version
Python 3.5.2 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit)

try this:

pip install pyqt5
pip install pyqt5-tools

Now you'd find the designer in site-packages/pyqt5-tools.

Lib\site-packages\qt5_applications\Qt\bin

this is might be not much helpful but i just wanted to share, I install pyqt5 using pip with the tools as well and couldn't find PyQt Designer in the Windows Start as well coz I searched "pyqt designer". I could find it when i searched "designer" only.

In most cases, due to updates of the packages or some other reasons, "designer tool" will not be in the default location.

If so, you can find it here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Python37-32\Lib\site-packages\pyqt5_tools\Qt\bin

On windows 10, with Python3.5, and pyqt5, I installed pyqt5-tools using pip:

pip install pyqt5-tools

and the designer was automatically install in the following folder:

"Python directory"\Python35\Lib\site-packages\pyqt5-tools

I think I found a workaround, first I uninstalled PyQt5 and pyqt5-tools-5.9.0.1.2

pip3 uninstall PyQt5
pip3 uninstall pyqt5-tools-5.9.0.1.2

I went to this page, downloaded the PyQt5-5.6-gpl-Py3.5-Qt5.6.0-x64-2.exe file and installed it normally.
