Install Mayavi for Python 3.7.1 in Windows 10

Question

Under Windows 10, I'm trying to run a Python script which contains the line

from mayavi import mlab

Therefore I'm trying to install Mayavi by running

pip install mayavi

from the Windows PowerShell. I then get

Collecting mayavi

Collecting vtk (from mayavi)

Running pip install vtk gives

Collecting vtk

No matching distribution found for vtk

I installed VTK manually with https://www.vtk.org/files/release/7.1/vtkpython-7.1.1-Windows-64bit.exe but it does not solve the problem.

Running python --version returns Python 3.7.1 and running pip --version or pip3 --version returns pip 18.1 from c:\\users\\adria\\appdata\\local\\programs\\python\\python37-32\\lib\\site-packages\\pip (python 3.7) .

How do I solve this problem?

Answer 1

Go to anaconda cloud then search mayavi then, in the python console, tape

conda install -c conda-forge mayavi 

Perhaps before you have to install VTK module with

conda install -c conda-forge vtk 

Then restart the console, and enjoy!
