[SOLVED] How to install PySide on CentOS?

Issue

I want to install ReText on CentOS. Have a problem,

[root@localhost scripts-2.6]# python retext.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "retext.py", line 23, in <module>
    from ReText import QtCore, QtWidgets, QtWebKit, datadirs, globalSettings
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ReText/__init__.py", line 21, in <module>
    from PySide import QtCore, QtGui, QtWebKit
ImportError: No module named PySide

Then I typed yum install PySide and yum install python-pyside to install PySide, and got the message No package available.

Also I tried yum search pyside and yum search python-, but that did not find the PySide package.

Solution

The CentOS repository does not contain PySide. You can add the EPEL repository to your OS then use: yum install -y python-pyside and it will be installed on your system.

In order to install the EPEL repository for 64bit systems, run the following as root:

1. cd /tmp
2. wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
3. rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

If you're using a 32bit system, use the following in step 2:

wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
