Thanks Kenneth, That all worked fine.
I still don't know what was wrong with the other approach. Thanks again, Peter.

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/<http://gmsh.info/bin/>) depending on your system wget http://gmsh.info/bin/Linux/gmsh-4.5.6-Linux64-sdk.tgz<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<mailto: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'). On my mac laptop (OSX 10.15.4) this works fine. It puts the appropriate python gmsh files under /usr/local/ and everything works fine. However under ubuntu it installed to files under $HOME/.local/ and python3 says it cannot find the gmsh module. I have modified the PYTHONPATH variable to take into account $HOME/.local/, but this doesn't help. I really don't know what is going on on two fronts: 1. I don't know why pip is installing things in different places between my two machines. 2. When I type print(sys.path) in python it points to the places where I think gmsh should be. Which files am I looking for exactly? After a long time trawling the internet, I couldn't find anything that would help me with these issues. Any insights would be much appreciated. Thank you, Peter.
