Thats unusual, usually you can find a binary by somebody.
But provided you have the dev tools building from source shoulkd not be 
too difficult.

Define "othing works"
Can you download it?
What tweaks? What happened?
What kind of install, how did you do it?
What errors did you get?

We need specifics.

Thats correct. QT5 is the actual C/C++ UI Library and pyqt5
is a Python binding to that. (Similaar to the forked "side" project
which you might also explore since they might have a binary
ready built)

There are side and pyqt support forums, your best
bet for detailed help is to ask there.
