+[getting started](https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/gettingstarted.html).
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
+git checkout 6.x # if a specific version is needed
```
then install the dependencies, and following the instructions per platform.
A common build command will look like:
```
