Previously I had experienced misery but now success, well so far - half an hour in. Of course I can't remember the exact sequence but here is my best guess. I think I installed Python first then SIP, I installed pyqt5 before qt, which can't be right but it seems to work! I used pip to install pyqt5 because I read somewhere this is good thing. I have no idea. Spool to end to see what I didn't do compared with Leo Docs...
--------------------------------------------------------- Get the xcode command line tools which match the highest version of Xcode that works with your version of MacOS. I didn't want to upgrade to Mac silicon versions of the OS and Mojave is the last version of MacOS that will run 32 bit apps which I wanted to stay with. You don't need the full xcode package, which is good is that is ~8GB). You will need a free Apple developer log in. I installed 10.3 https://developer.apple.com/download/all/ --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- I installed everything below while in /usr/local --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- First install HomeBrew /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" --------------------------------------------------------- install python3.9 brew install python --------------------------------------------------------- install SIP brew install SIP --------------------------------------------------------- install pyqt python3 -m pip install PyQt5 --------------------------------------------------------- install qt5 brew install qt5 ---------------------------------------------------------- Get Leo from Git sudo git clone --depth=500 --no-single-branch https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor --------------------------------------------------------- run Leo python3 launchleo.py --------------------------------------------------------- Compared to the instructions in the docs, I did not add this to my bash profile- export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH # This is for SIP (and PyQt) as suggested by Homebrew export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH I was worried about the PYTHONPATH etc but as these instruction refer to python2.7 I just ignored them. No doubt disaster awaits somewhere. ta IH -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
