Hi ,

I am trying to install pyqt5 using pip3 on CentOS 7 machine. But, it is giving error like below.

[root@localhost ~]# pip3 install --user pyqt5
WARNING: Running pip install with root privileges is generally not a good idea. Try `pip3 install --user` instead.

Could any one please explain what does it mean and how to install it? Thank you in Advance.

Hi,

Maybe a silly question but, are you on a 64bit distribution ?

That said, you should listen to the warning and stop working as root.
