I'm trying to run pyqtdeploy and am getting an unclear error message. I downloaded all of the dependencies and tried to build the demo application with:

python build-demo.py --verbose

Running 'make install'.

  • The problem is that you are missing the "x11extras" module, how did you install Qt? Have you used the online installer or the repositories of your OS? – eyllanesc Feb 15 '21 at 17:49
  • I tried installing qt `sudo apt-get install qt5-default ` but got the same error. I'm trying to build qt from source as part of pyqtdeploy. – user3478306 Feb 15 '21 at 18:30

The solution was to install PyQt x11extras for Python3 which is its own Debian package:

sudo apt-get install -y python3-pyqt5.qtx11extras
