I tried installing Mayavi in my anaconda environment:
conda install -c menpo mayavi=4.5.0 conda install -c anaconda wxpython=3.0.0.0 conda install pyqt conda install qt
But when I try to run the example from http://docs.enthought.com/mayavi/mayavi/auto/example_surface_from_irregular_data.html , I get an error
ImportError: Could not import backend for traits
with an explanation:
Make sure you have either TraitsBackendWx or TraitsBackendQt projects installed. If you installed Mayavi with easy_install, try easy_install. easy_install Mayavi [application] will also work.
If you have performed the source code verification, be sure to run 'python setup.py, set the "outline", "TraitsGUI" and the "Traits" of your choice.
Also make sure that either wxPython or PyQT is installed. WxPython: http://www.wxpython.org/ PyQT: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/intro
I searched the Internet and tried to find something to configure, but did not find anything.
From http://docs.enthought.com/mayavi/mayavi/installation.html?highlight=installation I realized that I can install it through pip using pip install mayavi , but this only led to messages that “Requirement is already satisfied” , among which
The requirement has already been met: features in / anaconda 2 / envs / myenv / lib / python3.5 / site-packages (from mayavi)
What to do?
source share
