Hi,

I’m trying to install the vtk packages though pip typing “pip install vtk” but the error message is “ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement vtk (from versions: none)  
ERROR: No matching distribution found for vtk”.  
Probably it is a simple mistake because I’m trying to visualize some 3D data.  
Hope that this could be solved quickly because I’m not an expert in those type of compatibilities.

I’m using Visual Studio Code to do some of my analysis therefore, the visualization could be helpfull.  
Best,  
Tiago

Thanks a lot for the fast reply!!  
What do I need to do? Use another version of python or how can I use the vtk to do my master thesis?  
Best,

3.6 through 3.9 should work just fine in the meantime.

Hi,  
Thanks for the great job with VTK. Any idea when the 3.10 wheels will be generated?
