I want to install python-pyqt4 4.12.3-5 from arch user repository

Hi @Ramanathan,

Easiest, in my opinion, is to use pamac. Specifically:

  1. Search for the package you’re looking for:
$ pamac search <package_name>

Where <package_name> is the name of the package you’re looking for, to see if it’s available. In this case python-pyqt4.

Example:

$ pamac search python-pyqt4
[...]
python-pyqt4                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  4.12.3-5  AUR
A set of Python 3.x bindings for the Qt toolkit

So yes, it is available. Now we have to install is. To do so, since the package is in the AUR, we need to build it. So

pamac build python-pyqt4

And that should be all that’s necessary. It should install it, along with it’s dependencies. so you can try and use it.

Hope this helps!
