I try to use python install.py to install. However, in the last step, error occurs.

Hi @yuqingyang888

Thanks for reporting. Are you planning to develop the taichi compiler, or just want to try it out? For the latter case using pip to install will be way easier.

Not tried yet, but isn't this way necessary to work with Python 3.8?

[yuqingyang888]

I've already install the pip version and I'm trying the example in taichi-mpm. However, error occurs as below, and is it the only way to use this example?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "banana.py", line 8, in
mpm = tc.dynamics.MPM(
AttributeError: module 'taichi' has no attribute 'dynamics'

As to join this project, it would be a great honor. But I really don't have much comiler knowledge~

Hi, yuqing. Have you fixed this error? I have met the same one, could you help?
