+# PySide6
+
+### Introduction
+
+PySide6 is the official Python module from the
+[Qt for Python project](http://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Python),
+which provides access to the complete Qt 5.12+ framework.
+
+The Qt for Python project is developed in the open, with all facilities you'd expect
+from any modern OSS project such as all code in a git repository and an open
+design process. We welcome any contribution conforming to the
+[Qt Contribution Agreement](https://www.qt.io/contributionagreement/).
+
+### Installation
+
+Since the release of the [Technical Preview](https://blog.qt.io/blog/2018/06/13/qt-python-5-11-released/)
+it is possible to install via `pip`, both from Qt's servers
+and [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/PySide6/):
+
+```
+pip install PySide6
+```
+
+#### Dependencies
+
+PySide6 versions following 5.12 use a C++ parser based on
+[Clang](http://clang.org/). The Clang library (C-bindings), version 6.0 or
+higher is required for building. Prebuilt versions of it can be downloaded from
+[download.qt.io](http://download.qt.io/development_releases/prebuilt/libclang/).
+
+After unpacking the archive, set the environment variable *LLVM_INSTALL_DIR* to
+point to the folder containing the *include* and *lib* directories of Clang:
+
+```
+7z x .../libclang-release_100-linux-Rhel7.2-gcc5.3-x86_64-clazy.7z
+export LLVM_INSTALL_DIR=$PWD/libclang
+```
+
+On Windows:
+
+```
+7z x .../libclang-release_100-windows-vs2015_64-clazy.7z
+SET LLVM_INSTALL_DIR=%CD%\libclang
+```
+
+### Building from source
+
+For building PySide6 from scratch, please read about
+[getting started](https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Python/GettingStarted).
+This process will include getting the code:
+
+```
+git clone https://code.qt.io/pyside/pyside-setup
+cd pyside-setup
+git branch --track 5.14 origin/5.15
+git checkout 5.15
+```
+
+then install the dependencies, and following the instructions per platform.
+A common build command will look like:
+
+```
+python setup.py install --qmake=path/to/qmake/ --parallel=8 --build-tests
+```
+
+You can obtain more information about the options to build PySide and Shiboken
+in [our wiki](https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Python/).
+
+### Documentation and Bugs
+
+You can find more information about the PySide6 module API in the
+[official Qt for Python documentation](https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/).
+
+If you come across any issue, please file a bug report at our
+[JIRA tracker](https://bugreports.qt.io/projects/PYSIDE) following
+our [guidelines](https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Python/Reporting_Bugs).
+
+### Community
+
+Check *#qt-pyside*, our official IRC channel on FreeNode, or contact us via our
+[mailing list](http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/pyside).
+
+### Licensing
+
+PySide6 is available under both Open Source (LGPLv3/GPLv2) and commercial
+license.  Using PyPi is the recommended installation source, because the
+content of the wheels is valid for both cases.  For more information, refer to
+the [Qt Licensing page](https://www.qt.io/licensing/).
