PySide2 Standalone Package for NVIDIA-Jetson-Nano

If you're looking to build GUIs with PySide2 for Qt 5.15.10 on Jetson Nano, Then follow the steps:

1. Install Pre-requisites

   sudo apt-get install libxcb-xinput0

2. Install Python3.7 using

   sudo apt install python3.7

3. Install pip using

   sudo apt-get install python3-pip

4. Clone the Repository using

   git clone https://github.com/achuthaperumal/PySide2-NVIDIA-Jetson-Nano.git && cd PySide2-NVIDIA-Jetson-Nano

5. Install Shiboken

   python3.7 -m pip install ./shiboken2-5.15.10-5.15.10-cp37-cp37m-linux_aarch64.whl

6. Install PySide2 with Pip

   python3.7 -m pip install ./PySide2-5.15.10-5.15.10-cp37-cp37m-linux_aarch64.whl

Note: This wheel file is built as standalone package meaning you do not need to install Qt5 seperately. Since opencv has an inbuilt Qt and it interferes with this version, you have to install opencv-headless using pip uninstall opencv-python && pip install opencv-python-headless

1. Set Qt plugins in Debug mode export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
