I followed the instructions for Ubuntu, which boiled down to just three commands: sudo apt install pyqt5-dev-tools qttools5-dev-tools python3-pip ln -s /usr/share/qtchooser/qt5-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtchooser/default.conf sudo pip3 install lxml The first two executed fine except the link command, which worked OK after I prefaced it with sudo: $ ln -s /usr/share/qtchooser/qt5-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtchooser/default.conf ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtchooser/default.conf': Permission denied $ sudo ln -s /usr/share/qtchooser/qt5-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtchooser/default.conf $ sudo pip3 install lxml The directory '/home/jjj/.cache/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag. The directory '/home/jjj/.cache/pip' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and caching wheels has been disabled. check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag. Requirement already satisfied: lxml in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages Ignoring the errors above, I looked for a menu launch item and, not finding one, I just typed 'meteo' at the command line to launch it. This gave me "Command 'meteo' not found, but can be installed with: sudo snap install meteo." So some of the errors above resulted in its not being installed. I am especially perplexed by the errors on the last command, 'sudo pip3 install lxml.' The last line says it was already installed anyway.
