Dear Mr. Venu,

Ryo is quite right you can install any software with the help of anaconda or miniconda on Linux.

Here I am attaching the procedure that I have ready discussed with Saat. I hope this will help you.  

Hello Saat,

G'day

The easiest way to install pyferret is from Anaconda cloud (https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/).

First you have to install anaconda I would recommend you to go for python 3.7 for LINUX.

This will guide you how to install anaconda in linux. (https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/linux/) or (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-anaconda-on-ubuntu-18-04-quickstart) etc.....

After installing ANACONDA you can easily install pyferret from it by these steps. Important thing is to create an new environment for pyferret (I created FERRET). This is because your linux is having its base environment which is no rial',sans-serif">Cheers, Saurabh

I recently installed pyferret v7.5 in centos 7. But I can't use qt window with preinstalled PyQt5. It seems that pyferret v7.5 using python2.7 and there is no pyqt4 in centos 7 supporting with python2.7. Any suggestions and help in this matter are appreciated. 

I'm still new to PyFerret and I'm not sure if what I'm saying is correct . . . but, I think if you install the latest miniconda for yourself and then install PyFerret upon it, such dependency problems shouldn't happen, because conda automatically installs right versions of everything including Qt.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
