Installation

Scikit-Topt is a Python library distributed on PyPI as the package scikit-topt (imported as sktopt). It supports Python 3.10–3.13:

  • Python 3.10–3.12: fully supported and tested.

  • Python 3.13: core topology optimization works as normal, but VTK-based features (VTU export and image rendering) require PyVista/VTK, which do not currently provide wheels for Python 3.13.

Install sktopt: Open your terminal or command prompt and run one of the following commands:

  • Using pip:

    pip install scikit-topt

  • Using poetry:

    poetry add scikit-topt

Verify the installation: After the installation is complete, you can verify that sktopt is installed correctly by running the following command:

python -c "import sktopt; print(sktopt.__version__)"
