Impossible to install VTK in PyCharm. How can I do?
Answered
Hello, I'm using PyCharm Community 2018.2 with a Python 3.6.6 interpreter. My pip version is the latest (18.1).
When I try to install vtk (any version) package from Project Interpreter, installation fails with this error:
" Command output: Collecting vtk. Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement vtk (from version: ). No matching distribution found for vtk. "
As suggested by Pycharm error window, I tried to install vtk from the terminal with "pip install vtk": same error (this time in a nice red color).
Does anybody know how I can solve this issue?
Thanks,
Cheers,
Davide Bassano
PS: I'm using a Python 3.6.6 interpreter. Same result if I use Python 3.7 interpreter

Hi Bassano,
Thank you for contacting PyCharm support.
Do you have the same error when trying to install it in system terminal (command line)?
Kind regards,

Hi Sergey,
thanks for your reply
Same error in system terminal...
Thanks for the update.
Unfortunately, it means that the problem is not in PyCharm.
It could be that this package is not compatible with this version of python or something else, I am not sure.
Quick search has led me to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48623136/installing-vtk-in-python.
