pip install pyvista fail #144

Closed gregnordin closed 11 months ago

gregnordin commented 1 year ago

The docker image apparently starts without the pyvista package installed and I can't seem to pip install it after starting the docker container. Here is how I start it:

docker run --init -p 8888:8888 -v "$(pwd)":/root/shared -w /root/shared ghcr.io/jorgensd/dolfinx-tutorial:v0.6.0

A url is provided from which I get a Jupyter Lab session served by the container. I've attached a zip file containing the notebook I created and from which I try to install pyvista. The errors are quite long so I thought it better to attach the file rather than paste the message here. From #130 it looks like pyvista should be installable. Perhaps I am missing something basic, but I'm stumped so am looking for clues how to fix the problem.

As you can see by the output, the issue is that VTK does not supply binaries on modern macs (ref: https://github.com/KitwareMedical/VTKPythonPackage/issues/42). @finsberg has made a mac-binary of VTK, which can be installed as described in: https://github.com/KitwareMedical/VTKPythonPackage/issues/42#issuecomment-1611514482

Thank you very much! Installing the mac-binary of VTK by @finsberg takes care of the problem. I did not know what that error meant so am very appreciative of your help.

Would you like me to submit a small pull request to put this in the documentation so future mac users don't run into the same problem as I did?

Sure! Make sure you make a pull request against the release branch, as I plan to release a 0.7.0 compatible version soon.
