sudo pip3 install OpenCobolIDE --upgrade

Note that if you have both PyQt5 and PyQt4 on your system, the IDE will use PyQt5 by default. To force the use of PyQt4, you should set the QT_API environment variable to pyqt4.

Before running the app, you first have to install the GnuCOBOL compiler, e.g. using homebrew:
