Sorry for the slow response. Yes, this was an issue since Mayavi tries (unnecessarily) to build the documentation which requires access to a windowing system. I've fixed this in https://github.com/enthought/mayavi/pull/1133 and this should be fixed in the upcoming Mayavi-4.8.0 release. Please reopen if this is still not resolved. I have also added a CI test to ensure that Mayavi is installable on headless servers.
I have been trying for ages to get this to work, like over a year and still doesnt work. When I try and install Mayavi it always fails to build the wheel. Below I have attached the output from colab, but I get similar issues in binder. It works fine if I run from my local machine but I want to run it from github. I have installed matplotlib, scipy, vtk 9.1.0, pyQT5, libvtk6-dev, libpq5 is there something I am missing?
