Notes about install PyQt5 on macOS systems

As of 2023-04-27, getting PyQt5 installed in Python seems much harder for Python versions 3.10 and later. I ended up using Python 3.9 for this reason for Foliage development.

On macOS Ventura, When I tried pip install pyqt5, it produced errors that implied it couldn't find qmake.

I got a copy of qmake by doing

brew install qt5

This put qmake in /opt/homebrew/opt/qt5/bin. I put that path on my shell $PATH, and verified qmake existed, then ran

pip3 install pyqt5 --config-settings --confirm-license= --verbose

again, and it worked that time.
