I am working through an introduction to python book, using Ipython, and I need to use mayavi. The book pointed me to "mayavi.sourceforge.net" and from there I followed the installation from sources link to download mayavi-1.5.zip (https://sourceforge.net/projects/mayavi/files/mayavi/1.5/). </div><div id="yiv9871224779yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1493404942213_11451" dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br></div><div id="yiv9871224779yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1493404942213_11451" dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Then I attempted to follow the links for VTK, but they did not connect to anywhere. I went to the VTK.org/downloads and downloaded first the "Standalone Python Interface (Installer)" for linux (and unzipped it), but when trying to import VTK, I got the " No module named vtk" message.
