Hi folks, just getting started with Python, so I loaded Eric6. I'm running Python 3.9.5 on Windows 10. I'm trying to follow Jaime Seuma's LogParser tutorial, but I'm stopped by what seems to be a Qt issue. Jaime instructs to right-click on a Qt button in the "Project View". No matter how many times and different ways I install Eric and Qt, those buttons do absolutely nothing for me at all. I see 2 Qt buttons, one plain, and one with a little green doodad. Both are dead. Any clues on how to get Qt to work with Eric6? Much thanks, paul
Thanks Larz60+. I execute the command, I see

I tried it from several directories, including my "Virtual Machine Folder". I wonder if it could have something to do with that &#%@&& Microsoft OneDrive stuff, because it's in the path for my working environment... Maybe I should think about cleaning everything out and reinstalling Python, Qt and Eric all on local disk paths?
I got rid of the Onedrive &^$# stuff and reloaded according to the instructions at
https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/i...-packages/
This time I got a different result, but still not quite there:

Any ideas? thanks, paul
Ahh, got it - had to add the "--user" option, as in
python -m pip install eric-ide --user
I appreciate your generous help, Larz60+! paul
Sorry to hear it was so difficult on win 10
I'm pretty much Linux only these days, not a great fan of windows 10.
