python - PyQt5: How to install/run Qt Designer

Question

Feeling really stupid, right now, but the title says it all:

How do you start the QtDesigner?

I've installed PyQt5 via pip and I believe to have identified the directory it's been installed in as

C:Users\%username%AppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython36Libsite-packagesPyQt5

Now what? There are a lot of .pyd files, some .dll's, too, but nothing executable (well, except a QtWebEngineProcess.exe in ...site-packagesPyQt5Qtin, but that doesn't sound like what I'm looking for.

Answer 1

I struggled with this as well. The pyqt5-tools approach is cumbersome so I created a standalone installer for Qt Designer. It's only 40 MB. Maybe you will find it useful!
