Install PySide6 on macOS

Before you start the PySide6 tutorial you will need to have a working installation of PySide6 on your system. If you don't have either set up yet, the following steps will guide you through how to do this on macOS.

This guide is also available for Linux and Windows.

Install PySide6 on macOS

If you already have a working installation of Python 3 on macOS, you can go ahead and install PySide6 as for any other Python package, using the following --

pip3 install pyside6

If you don't have an installation of Python 3, you will need to install one first. You can download macOS installers for Python 3 from the Python homepage. Once installed, you should be able to use the pip3 install command above to install PySide6.

Another alternative is to use Homebrew. Homebrew is a package manager for command-line software on macOS. Homebrew has both Python 3 and PySide6 available in their repositories.

With Python installed, you can then install PySide6 as normal, using pip3 install pyside6, or alternatively choose to install it using Homebrew with --

brew install pyside6
