How Do I Download and Install qmake?

[jelp]

I feel like this should be easier, and indeed I'm probably missing something obvious, but I can't figure out how to install qmake. Because I can't install qmake, I can't install PyQt4. Because I can't install PyQt4, I can't install the Qt Console for ipython. Etc.

Here's the fully documented steps I've taken from installing ipython to trying to install PyQt4: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WrPIfdK9r2g9ws07G0HC4U52h0vV_-63gJadTUPJ6qA/edit?usp=sharing

I'm on a Macbook Air mid 2013 running OS X 10.10.2 (14C109), using Chrome browser.

Thanks so much, I'm feeling like an idiot right now. My brain is totally fried from frustration!

In order to install/use PyQt, you need a working installation of Qt. Have you downloaded and installed Qt from here?

http://www.qt.io/download/

If so, you should have a working, already compiled/installed qmake.

Why are you trying to build anything? Why not install binary release instead?
