Installation

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• PySide6 6.9+ (Qt 6.9+) — installed automatically together with PrismQML

Install with pip

pip install prismqml

The distribution name matches the import name: after installing, use from prismqml import ... directly.

Platform notes

On Windows, the host pins the D3D11 graphics backend before the first QQuickWindow; application code does not need to and should not switch backends. macOS and Linux retain Qt's platform-default graphics backend.

Development install

To contribute or try the latest code on main, install in editable mode from the repository:

git clone https://github.com/aki-riko/PrismQML.git
cd PrismQML
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Verify the installation

python -c "import prismqml; print(prismqml.__version__)"

If the command prints a version number, the installation is working. Head to Getting started to bring up your first window in a few lines of code.
