MACOS M2 Ventura

I've tried to get leo via pip:

pip install pyqt6 leo

but when I try to run it I get:

 ~/WXP/OGMAP/now/base > leo ogmap.leo
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "cocoa" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

The obvious "pip install cocoa" didn't help.  Any ideas?

Not really. Did you try pip install pyqt6 first?

Thanks for your help, Thomas.

Thanks Thomas,

    When I worked up the courage to adjust my qt.conf file as suggested, everything worked! :-)

I'll have to get used to the options living at the top of the main screen and not the top of the leo window.  But that's a minor issue.

I'm glad to hear it, Geoff.

The bigger question is how to make sure other Mac users can learn about this.  I doubt that Leo's install system could make the required changes, so how can we inform users?  I don't have a Mac and don't know much about them.
