Problem with installing Metadata for the Github voice cloner

I ran pip install -r requirements.txt accordingly to their instruction. It returned an error below. I am using a Macbook and I'm not sure if it supports the Macbook.

I had the same problem here.
I had the Python 3.10 installed, but I found out that PyQt5 is not supported on the 3.10 version of Python. You can check this info here.
So I downgraded my Python version and everything worked fine.

I can't install PyQt5-tools [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

I am trying to install PyQt5-tools but I'm having trouble with it.

I had the same problem, when I researched, I saw that if you are using 3.10 version in python, pyqt5-tools cannot be installed in this version, I recommend you to install 3.9 version

I have no problem installing it in the same venv with a 3.9.4 x64 version. Is possible that PyQt6 is not compatible with x86 pyhton's versions? Is there any solution?

I had this problem when I wanted to install PyQt5-tools.I used Python 3.10.2 and then I removed it and install Python 3.9.10 ( without upgrading pip from 21.2.4 to 22.0.3) and problem solved.

how can I fix this I have installed the Microsoft C++ buildtools and tried downloading It using the pyqt5 wheel file (gives me a this file is not a supported wheel on this platform

Please, try:
Download file PyQt5-5.15.4-cp36.cp37.cp38.cp39-none-win_amd64.whl from the page
https://pypi.org/project/PyQt5/#files
Rename it to PyQt5-5.15.4-py3-none-win_amd64.whl
Run pip install PyQt5-5.15.4-py3-none-win_amd64.whl
I was able to install it into Python 3.10 virtual environment, then was able to run example from https://zetcode.com/gui/pyqt5/firstprograms/
