Unable to install nvidia-sym, No matching distribution found for vtk==9.1.0

[nihalpushkar11]

I have been following: GitHub - NVIDIA/modulus-sym: An abstracted framework for training AI surrogates of physical systems using physics-based symbolic loss functions for installing the same, but vtk is giving me issues. I even tried with uninstalling but still no luck, below is the log for the same.

Thank you

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

Should I edit the project.toml file inorder to suffice the versions? but would that be safe to do so?

Even doing so has lead to the following error:

Hi @nihalpushkar11

This is likely because your Python version is too new (e.g. >=3.10), try downgrading your python version to say 3.8 and trying. The VTK dependency in Modulus sym doesn’t support newer python versions. We are tracking this issue to fix.
