    I've googled, I've searched, I think I've tried 147 apt install and pip installs, I can't get the stand-alone Qt Designer install on my Ubuntu 24.04 box.

    I've tried: pip install pyqt6-tools which complains about conflicts with pyqt6-plugins
    I've tried sudo apt install libqt6designer6 python3-pyqt6, which says I have already installed it, but there's no designer. I do have pyuic6, to convert the ui file.

    When I tried to just run designer at the command prompt I got a message to install QtChooser, which I did and now if I enter designer at the command prompt I get: designer: could not find a Qt installation of ''

    What am I missing?

      Hi,

      The system package name is designer-qt6

          Wow. So running "designer" gave an error message about not finding an installation. After some poking around I found:
          /usr/lib/qt6/bin/designer
          and that seems to be it. Maybe the installation missed the step to put a link to this executable in /usr/bin ??
          Anyway, thank you, I got it.

            If memory serves well, that's where QtChooser comes into play.
