You state in your article "pyqt6-first-steps-qt-designer" that to install Designer you'd have to download it from the Qt website and it seems that you get a version suitable for C++ and Python, however if you install pySide6 via pip you'd get a version solely for Python which is also easier to work with, you'd start directly within the UI designer itself with the "Choose a Form Template" dialog (simply called "New Form") open.

After installation you can find the application in:
MacOs: "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.xx/bin/pyside6-designer"
Windows: "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python3xx\Scripts\pyside6-designer.exe"
If this folder is in your system path you can start the applications with pyside6-designer from the terminal in MacOs.

Alternatively you can create a shortcut to:
MacOs: "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.xx/lib/python3.13/site-packages/PySide6/Designer.app"
Windows: "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python3xx\site-packages/PySide6/designer..exe"
and start it by clicking the shortcut.
