Hi there! So I tried installing vise on MacOS. Here is my journey

  1. mkvirtualenv vise
  2. pip install --upgrade pip
  3. pip install apsw
  4. brew install qt@5 a. Includes QtWebEngine afaia
  5. pip install PyQt5 a. ran into a problem, looked it up on StackOverflow ended up running pip install pyqt5-sip b. ran into another problem, after I solved it installing PyQt5 worked!
  6. addeed /opt/homebrew/opt/qt5/bin to path
  7. brew install libsodium
  8. npm i -g rapydscript-ng
  9. git clone https://github.com/kovidgoyal/vise
  10. cd vise
  11. rapydscript --js-version 6 --cache-dir ./.build-cache ./client/main.pyj > ./resources/vise-client.js
  12. python3 . a. Said Your system appears to be missing the qt-webengine package b. Ran pip install -vv pyqtwebengine c. Still says Your system appears to be missing the qt-webengine package 😭

Here is pip list:

apsw          3.39.4.0
pip           22.3
PyQt5         5.15.7
PyQt5-sip     12.11.0
PyQtWebEngine 5.15.6
setuptools    62.5.0
wheel         0.37.1

I am on M1 MacOS 12.6, python3==3.8.12 (I can go higher, but this is the lowest version supported for M1)

Ah, it seems that PyQt6 is required. So I did:

  1. pip install -vv pyqt6
  2. pip install -vv pyqt6-webengine
  3. pip install pyyaml

  1. ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/libsodium/1.0.18_1/lib/libsodium.23.dylib libsodium.dylib And it works!

Btw, do you pronounce in as Mike, or vis, or veeseh? And where does the name come from (I'm guessing vi is for visual)?

vi comes from the vi editor. vise is basically VIm + browSE. It is pronounced as the English word vise https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vise
