Hello, I am trying to install vtk in my ubuntu(aarch64).  
I have tried several methods, but they were all failed.

1.I installed miniforge in ubuntu and downloaded the package `'vtk-8.2.0-py36haa4764d_200.tar.bz2'` from [https://anaconda.org/anaconda/vtk/8.2.0/download/linux-64/vtk-8.2.0-py36haa4764d\_200.tar.bz2](https://anaconda.org/anaconda/vtk/8.2.0/download/linux-64/vtk-8.2.0-py36haa4764d_200.tar.bz2)  
. And I used `'''conda install --use-local'''` to install vtk package in my virtual environment.

But when I use python to import vtk, the error occurred:

- `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vtkCommonCorePython'`

2.I downloaded vtk-8.2.0 for aarch64 from [https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/aarch64/vtk](https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/aarch64/vtk)  
and extracted the files of vtk-8.2.0-14-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz

After that, I imported vtk successfully, but I couldn’t use any modules in vtk：

Thank you very much
