MU-Editor installation issues

Post by TexFly »

Hello,

I’m new with CircuitPytohn and just bought bunch of sensors and a M0 express. I’m trying to install MU-Editor with Ubuntu 16 and I’m having lots of issues. I keep getting a QScintilla error. I have installed the latest Python, pip3 and what else.

Any idea on how to solve this? Any alternative IDE I can use if MU-editor does not work?

Thanks!

Try installing with the --user flag. Ubuntu has some permissions issues that require this flag.

Code: Select all

pip3 install --user mu-editor

Even with the --user flag now I get this error:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PyQtChart==5.11.2 (from mu-editor) (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for PyQtChart==5.11.2 (from mu-editor)


The command is:
pip3 install mu-editor
or
pip3 install --user mu-editor

Same error....what can I try? Help ;-)

After hours of troubleshooting I switched to PyCharm. It took a little while but I was able to make it work.

Thanks.
