After installing Anaconda (see https://www.anaconda.com/download/), create a new
environment for PyDM::
$ conda create -n pydm-environment python=3.8 pyqt=5 pip numpy scipy six psutil pyqtgraph pydm -c conda-forge
$ conda create -n pydm-environment python=3.8 pyqt=5.12.3 pip numpy scipy six psutil pyqtgraph pydm -c conda-forge
$ source activate pydm-environment

There is currently no PyQt 5.15+ build available on conda or PyPI that has
designer support for python plugins.

In order to use PyDM widgets in designer, please make sure to pin the PyQt version to 5.12.3 or lower
In order to use PyDM widgets in designer, we make sure to pin the PyQt version to 5.12.3 or lower
until this is resolved.

Once you've installed and activated the environment, you should be able to run 'pydm' to launch PyDM, or run 'designer' to launch Qt Designer. If you are on Windows, run these commands from the Anaconda Prompt.
