Installing the PyQtWebEngine can be a bit tricky (I know from my own experience), but you could just try installing it with homebrew if you have it.

That would work like this:

brew install qtwebengine

Otherwise you could try this:

pip install --no-cache-dir PyQtWebEngine

This would help you if you have cache errors.
