<h4> Running the desktop application </h4>
<p> To run the program as a desktop application, you will need to install Qt 5.10.0. While your distro may have it as a package, I didn't have much luck on Fedora 27, and had to install it manually using their <ahref="https://www.qt.io/download">installer</a>.
<p> If you're on Windows, the Qt runtime will have been installed as part of PyQt5 (when you did the <tt>pip install</tt> above), but if you're in a virtual environment and you're getting <em>"DLL load failed"</em> errors, this is due to a problem with the way Python sets up the virtualenv. In the virtualenv's <tt>scripts/</tt> sub-directory, there should be <em>two</em> Python DLL's, so if you're missing <tt>python3.dll</tt>, copy it over from the Python installation the virtualenv was created from, and you should be good to go.
