<p>Dear Prabhu,</p>
<p>Big favour to ask: could you build wheels for running VTK
headless i.e. offscreen rendering? I think the option to support
this is VTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/Utilities/OffScreenRendering">https://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/Utilities/OffScreenRendering</a>).</p>
<p>That would be a very big help. I've seen loads of queries on how
to do this but almost no clear solutions.</p>
<p>Then running VTK in headless mode would be as simple as first
doing:</p>
<p>pip install vtk-headless</p>
<p>... then you're off to the races!<br>

<p><tt>Hi all,</tt></p>
<p><tt>Just a small announcement that we now have VTK-8.1.0 wheels
available on pypi (for OSX, Linux, and Windows). Installing
VTK (on a 64 bit OS), is now as simple as:</tt></p>
<p><tt> $ pip install vtk</tt></p>
<p><tt>More details are available here: <br>
