[FIXED] How can I install PyQt5 on Mac?

Issue

I am trying to install PyQt5 on my Mac but I do not know how to use it well. I have tried to install sip doing

cd ~/Downloads/sip-4.17
python configure.py

which worked, and then I tried

cd ~/Downloads/PyQt-gpl-5.5.1
python configure.py --qmake /Users/name/Qt/5.5/clang_64/bin/qmake

which returns an error that says

Make sure you have a working sip on your PATH or use the --sip argument to explicitly specify a working sip.

How do I fix this error? Did I not install sip?

Solution

I'm kind of dodging the question, but the simplest way is to install Homebrew, and just run brew install pyqt or brew install pyqt5.
