Problems with installment in PyMAPDL

[JacobWennersten]

Hello! I'm currently trying to do the "Overview of Ansys PyMAPDL" course made by ANSYS but I can't seem to get it to work. I have done the pip install ansys-mapdl-core and when I do the commands "from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl", "mapdl = launch_mapdl()", print(mapdl)" it shows that it's working and that I have the right version. But when starting Jupyter and doing their tutorial I get a lot of error messages like on the command "mapdl.vplot('all')" . Have I installed something wrong? The jupyter file can be downloaded here and a picture of my problem is attatched here.

I also have problems installing it in Spyder instead of the regular python command prompt. I'm have used both the commands "conda install -c conda-forge ansys-mapdl-reader" and "conda install ansys-mapdl-core" but after I have done this, how to I import it so I can use it in my code? I have tried both the same as I did above in Jupyter but also the command "import ansys-mapdl-core as mapdl" but non of this works.

Hi @JacobWennersten it may be the Python version. Can you please install 3.10 instead? See here:
https://mapdl.docs.pyansys.com/version/stable/getting_started/index.html

If you cannot do this I can test this out later today (I currently use Python 3.9.9). Which version of MAPDL do you have installed?

I tried with two different versions of 3.10 and non of them work, still get a error message on the mapdl.vplot('all') command...
