Hey,

Sorry to bother with another question.

After installing Qt, I get a new error after locating qmake and trying to
build PyQt:

$ sip-install --qmake /Users/___/Qt/5.15.2/clang_64/bin/qmake

Querying qmake about your Qt installation...

sip-install: Qt v6 is required, not v5.15.2

Somehow everytime I try to download Qt 6 from the Qt website I
automatically get version 5.15.2. I am not sure why that is? This may seem
silly, but I have already downloaded Qt twice with the same error. Is it
because I am trying to download open source and not the commercial version?
