can't install pptk in python

Question

I'm trying to install the pptk module in PyCharm for visualising 3D point clouds.

Initially I tried installing in PyCharm via File > Settings > Python Interpreter > Install > pptk

However, it couldn't be found and advised I use pip instead.

So on my command prompt I navigated to the folder containing Python 3.9 and tried pip install pptk

And I got the following error ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pptk (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for pptk

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or why no version can be found? Am I missing something obvious in the installation?

Your Python is probably on the wrong version. Try Python 3.6. — thethiny, Feb 26 '21 at 22:08
@thethiny thanks, I'll give that a try and update the post with my result — User_289, Feb 26 '21 at 22:18
you were right @thethiny. Downloaded with Python 3.6, no issues. Thanks! — User_289, Feb 26 '21 at 22:32

According to the requirements by the pptk module, the minimum Python version required is 3.6. Judging by the fact that there's no distribution found for 3.9 I believe that it was missing a PyPi repo for it, therefore downgrading to Python 3.6 should fix the problem. Judging by your response to my comment, that did work.
