How to get Anki running on the Librem 5?

Hardware Librem 5
6

This is what worked for me on the Librem 5 with Byzantium:

I followed the steps to install Anki via PyPI/pip (mentioned by @FranklyFlawless above), but had to adjust them a bit. So this is what I did:

Install the PyQt5 packages:

sudo apt install python3-pyqt5.{qtwebengine,qtmultimedia}

Create a directory for Anki and cd into that directory:

mkdir anki
cd anki

Then run the following:

python3 -m venv --system-site-packages pyenv
pyenv/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
pyenv/bin/pip install --upgrade --pre aqt

Start Anki:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland pyenv/bin/anki
