title: Require help installing pyqt6
body: <p>I have been trying to install pyqt6 on my linux device!
  tried running:</p>
  <pre><code>pip install pyqt6
  pip3 install pyqt6
  python -m pip install pyqt6
  python3 -m pip install pyqt6
  </code></pre>
  <p>and the variations of such commands. I also tried updating pip and python to latest versions it would give me (python 3.9.2 and pip 22.1.2)</p>
  <p>error i get when installing pyqt6 is as follows:</p>
  <pre><code>  Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
    Collecting pyqt6

  <p>edits:
  to answer comments (since i replied there by accident instead of updating:
  unsure what linux distro i'm running since it's the linux de available on chromebooks, if there's an official package for it I don't know what it is.</p>
  <p>link 1 doesn't help just recommends i try steps i've done already such as updating pip</p>
