[nmag-users] No module named pyvtk

[Liu, Tianyu (MU-Student)]

Dear All,

I am a new user to Nmag and Linux, so I use the VMware player to run the latest nmag package. When I tried to visualize the result of Example1, I got an error said "No module named pyvtk". I have also tried to install the pyvtk package, but failed. Could anyone help me out? Herein the attachment is the commands I have used.

Thanks,

Tianyu

Hi Tianyu,

It seems a root privilege is needed to install pyvtk, so you can install pyvtk by

    >sudo python setup.py install

another choice to install python packages is to use pip, (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip), once you have pip, you can install pyvtk by,

    >sudo pip install pyvtk

or install pyvtk locally without root privileges,

  >pip install pyvtk --user

Best wishes,

Weiwei

Hi Weiwei,

Thank you very much for the prompt reply. The sudo command works.

Best,

Tianyu
