PySide6 Cannot Install on Windows 11 Python 3.12.1

[HopWorks]

Well I really wanted to try this software. I have been looking for a good GUI builder for Python without having to write my own for my use, and after trying tkinter-designer and pygubu, I decided to try PySide6. I read about how great it is.

BUT, everything I have tried today has failed. I cannot install it. I tried installing it from PIP, downloading the WHL file, and all that is left is to build from source BUT I am not sure I want to go through all that.

I am using Python 3.12.1, PIP 24.0, on Windows 11.
Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 23H2
Installed on ‎10/‎4/‎2022
OS build 22631.3593

I tried installing it from PIP

And what was the problem?

@jsulm ```

PowerShell 7.4.2
PS C:\Users\hopwo> pip install pyside6
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyside6 (from versions: none)

@HopWorks "pip3 install pyside6" works for me on Linux. Try pip3 instead of pip.

@jsulm Actually, "pip" works in Linux so I did not need to use "pip3". I was using windows for the install because when I was using tkinter in WSL2, I could not figure out how to make all the windows fonts available. All I had was one font to pick from. When I used tkinter in the Windows version of python, I had all the fonts available. I am hoping that I do not have to worry about that with PySide6 in Linux. We will see. At least I am past the install, thanks jsulm!
