Qt Tools not found?

Hi Robert,

the mentioned Qt Tools are not part of the eric-ide nor PyQt6 package. 
You have to install them separately for your platform. Debian provides 
packages for these, which you can install via the package manager. For 
Windows platforms you have to install the Qt6 software.

Regards,
Detlev
