I found some tutorials online for earlier versions of Ubuntu but they didn't seem to work on Ubuntu 14.10; either that or I was doing it the wrong way.
I want to use Qt Designer to design a GUI, use PyQt to covert it to .py, then use it in Python.
What packages do I need to install to do this?

All the tools you need are included in Ubuntu repositories. You must install the package qtcreator, which has an integrated QtDesigner, and the package pyqt5-dev-tools, which provides pyuic5, a utility that generates Python code from .ui files.
sudo apt-get install qtcreator pyqt5-dev-tools
Run these in a Terminal:
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
sudo apt-get install qttools5-dev-tools
sudo apt-get install qtcreator pyqt5-dev-tools
Run PyQt5 Designer, located at:
/usr/bin/designer
Run PyQt5 User Interface Compiler (PYUIC5) to convert .ui to .py
pyuic5 gui.ui -o gui.py
Run PyQt5 Resource Compiler (PYRCC5) to convert .qrc to .py
pyrcc5 images.qrc -o images_rc.py
- Install
python3. - Install
sip. - Install
python3-pip. - Run the command:
pip3 install pyqt5
Well, I documented the steps for Installing pyqt5 with qt designer and code generation here:
With this you can generate the code from Qt Designer itself.
