Install the dependencies via apt-get:
[NOTE]
==========================
On Debian, it's recommended to install the Qt packages from the
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianExperimental[experimental] repository as those
are a much newer version of Qt which is more stable.
Add the following line to your `/etc/apt/sources.list`:
----
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian experimental main
----
Then install the packages like this:
----
# apt-get update
# apt-get install -t experimental python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit
# apt-get install python-tox
----
It's also recommended to pin those packages to receive updates by creating a
file `/etc/apt/preferences.d/qutebrowser` with the following contents:
----
Package: python3-pyqt5* libqt5*
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 800
----
==========================
For distributions other than Debian or if you prefer to not use the
experimental repo:
----
# apt-get install python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit python-tox
----
