I want to create my small GUI app with PyQt6. I've installed PyQt6, but I also have to install PyQt6-tools. So, when I tried to get it, I got this error:

ERROR: Cannot install pyqt6-tools==6.0.1.3.2, pyqt6-tools==6.0.2.3.2, pyqt6-tools==6.0.3.3.2 and pyqt6-tools==6.1.0.3.2 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    pyqt6-tools 6.1.0.3.2 depends on pyqt6-plugins<6.1.0.3 and >=6.1.0.2.2
    pyqt6-tools 6.0.3.3.2 depends on pyqt6-plugins<6.0.3.3 and >=6.0.3.2.2
    pyqt6-tools 6.0.2.3.2 depends on pyqt6==6.0.2
    pyqt6-tools 6.0.1.3.2 depends on pyqt6==6.0.1

To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

ERROR: ResolutionImpossible: for help visit https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/user_guide/#fixing-conflicting-dependencies

I understand, that there is problem with dependencies, but I don't have any experiance in pip, so I don't know how to solve this problem. OS: Windows 10, python 3.10

Had the same errors with python 3.10, but didnt want to give up and revert to older version 3.9 Installed the designer seperately from https://build-system.fman.io/qt-designer-download Its a small and quick install.

As suggested by eyllanesc, using python3.9 worked out for me.

<PathToPython3.9>\python.exe -m pip install pyqt6_tools

For those who use Linux (Ubuntu for me) and don't want to revert to Python 3.9 use this method:

  1. Install flatpak if you don't have it sudo apt install flatpak
  2. Add flatpak repo: flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
  3. Install Qt Designer: flatpak install flathub io.qt.Designer
  4. AFter installation complete: run designer in terminal.

You can find more on: https://flathub.org/apps/details/io.qt.Designer
