@Puja_Ghosh How did you determine that you needed pyacvd\<0.3?

Was it from this post? Or self-discovery?

> Unfortunately, pyacvd developers broke their package in their 0.3.0 version by adding C code that needs to be compiled and it is only compatible with VTK hosted on PyPI. I’ve [submitted an issue to their tracker](https://github.com/pyvista/pyacvd/issues/56), but since probably they will not fix this for a long time, I’ll add a version restriction to only use pyacvd\<0.3. In the meantime, you can fix the issue by executing slicer.util.pip\_install("pyacvd\<0.3") in the Slicer Python console.

Can you confirm that pyacvd==0.3.1 works successfully? That would be a follow up to the below post.

Based on this information maybe @mau_igna_06 or @lassoan could update the install version at:
