Hi Toby,

I installed MetaStruct and did run some examples. Cool stuff.

In my case I needed to use specifically python3.8 and not python3.9. I don't know if this is general, but maybe you want to add it to the README.

Just curious what problem you saw with python3.9. I read this after I had already gotten setup with python3.9. It seems to be working but I haven't gotten that far yet.

I'll take a look into this and try it out with 3.9. Yes curious to see what the issue was/is as well

It looked like the same error as @burhop had. I tried installing using python3.9 and then got: ERROR: Failed building wheel for mayavi. Then I switched to a new virtual environment with python3.8 and try to install again which solved the problem.

I've installed using python 3.9 and I also get the same error message during the mayavi installation. I get another error before from Mayavi stating that Numpy is required before mayavi, yet Numpy is installed before mayavi so I am not sure on the cause of this. It doesnt seem to prevent mayavi installing and working though.
