Today when I configuring a new environment on new device (use pip3 install PyQt5), I got the following error message:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/pip-build-8lcjii2e/PyQt5/setup.py'
I feel confused. Why did pip command cannot find the file? I think the problem is pip command or PyQt5.
Solution
I think update pip command is better than downgrade PyQt5 version.
pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 -V
Output:
pip 21.1.2 from /home/clay/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)
The try to install PyQt5 again, this time it was successful.
