Stuck at `Building wheel for mayavi (setup.py)`

[woochangchung]

Here is my installation environment: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a ThinkPad P15 laptop And when I do pip install mayavi, I get stuck during the Building wheel process:

Python version is 3.8.10.

[TravisPetit]

Same problem here, also on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. And when I try to install the bleeding edge version by cloning the repository I get a TVTK - VTK incompatibility error, as pointed out here #1061.

Older versions seem to also freeze during the installation.

[DanMunchie]

Same issue on Windows 10 64bit

[Sbozzolo]

Here is another (reproducible) example where it is not possible to build mayavi on Ubuntu 20.04 on a GitHub Actions runner.

Edit: the Action wouldn't work with ubuntu-18.04 either

[Kukuster]

reinstalling dependencies did help me with this. Try removing and installing:

• vtk • pyqt5 • libvtk6-dev • libpq5

again. Then try to install mayavi again

[fbottarel]

On Ubuntu 18.04 I managed to un-stuck the mayavi setup with the configuration

• vtk6, libvtk6-dev and libvtk6-dev-qt installed via apt
• PyQt5 and vtk==8.1.0 installed via pip3
• Python 3.6.9

Not sure it will help tho. @woochangchung try downgrading the vtk package version installed via pip3 to something < 9.0.3

[carlsonmark]

Downgrading to vtk==9.0.1 worked for me on Ubuntu 20.04

[bdenoun]

Thanks a bunch @carlsonmark, pip install vtk==9.0.1 worked like a charm on my Ubuntu 20.04

[cviviers]

Downgrading to vtk==9.0.1 on windows 10 64bit, python 3.8 will also solve it. It still takes a while to build the wheel and can appear to be hanging.

[DanMunchie]

Downgrading to vtk==9.0.1 on windows 10 64bit, python 3.8 will also solve it. It still takes a while to build the wheel and can appear to be hanging.

Thanks for this - all working now!

[Sbozzolo]

I found that pinning to 9.0.1 works for python 3.6 (see github action, but not for python 3.9 (see github action. This is because there are no wheels for vtk 9.0.1 for python 3.9.

[Qcellaris]

vtk 9.0.1 with latest version of wheel works for me vtk 9.0.3 with wheel 0.34.2 works for me vtk 9.0.3 with latest version of wheel doesn't work for me

I don't know what the true issue is here, but now I just used the wheel 0.34.2 option.

[fwilliams]

There is no support for vtk 9.0.1 with python 3.9. Is there any progress on getting this to work with 9.0.3?

[SiddharthaMithiya]

Experiencing same thing, vtk-9.0.1 not available for python 3.9 starting from 9.0.2. A specific solution in needed, where everyone facing same problem in installation.

[rahulporuri]

@fwilliams and @SiddharthaMithiya we're working on making a release which supports the latest vtk versions (9.0.3 and 9.1.0 now). The current development branch contains the necessary fixes for vtk 9.0.3 so if possible, we recommend that you install mayavi from github directly, until we make a release.

[SiddharthaMithiya]

Thank you so much for your support. Actually let me explain the situation. We are doing our project work on Quantum mechanics this year, and we want to use mayavi, for 3d analysis, cause it's better than matplotlib's 3d environment. And we all stuck with this situation of installation.

Now, can you please explain me how to install it from GitHub? If we arange a Google meet then it will be very very helpful and fruitful for us. If you are agree for a Google meet then I will be forever grateful to you. I beg you to help us.

Thanking you in advance.

You need to do pip install git+https://github.com/mayavi.git@master#egg=mayavi. Ref https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/vcs-support/#git for more information regarding installing packages from git/github.

[SiddharthaMithiya]

sir, i tried it but it is giving this error

@SiddharthaMithiya the command I mentioned earlier is wrong. Can you please run this command in your python environment - python -m pip install vtk==9.0.3 git+https://github.com/enthought/mayavi.git@master#egg=mayavi and copy-paste the full output of that command?

[SiddharthaMithiya]

I tried it sir. But still it giving ERROR, while building wheel for mayavi. Here is the error massage below.

@SiddharthaMithiya ignoring the first error, the installation seems to have worked because of this message. I think the installation worked. Can you try running import mayavi from the python prompt?

[SiddharthaMithiya]

yes sir it's working fine. i'm following pravu Ramachandan's tutorial video in youtube lectured in Scipy 2018. i saved a test plot also.
