Good morning, I had the same problem a few weeks ago. You can try to: install gmsh in a virtual env <https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html> or put it manually in python path :
- Enter in the home directory : cd ~ - [Download the SDK](http://gmsh.info/bin/) depending on your system wget http://gmsh.info/bin/Linux/gmsh-4.5.6-Linux64-sdk.tgz -O /tmp/gmsh-sdk.tar.gz - Uncompress it tar -xvf /tmp/gmsh-sdk.tar.gz - Open the *~/.bashrc* file and add to the last line export *PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}":~/gmsh-4.5.6-Linux64-sdk/lib/ - source the *.bashrc* file source ~/.bashrc - test if all is ok python3 gmsh-4.5.6-Linux64-sdk/share/doc/gmsh/demos/api/t1.py Best regards, Kenneth, On Thu, May 14, 2020 at 1:22 PM Peter Johnston <p.johns...@griffith.edu.au> wrote: > Hello, > > I have a question about gmsh/gmsh-sdk installation under python - I > realise this is not a gmsh question exactly, so hope it is OK. > > I was trying to install gmsh and gmsh-sdk on a computer running ubuntu > 18.04 using 'pip3 install gmsh' (I also tried 'pip3 install gmsh-sdk').
