Continuing the discussion from [Installation of ITKElastix with pip](https://discourse.itk.org/t/installation-of-itkelastix-with-pip/4936) [Installing and using Python wrapped Remote Module](https://discourse.itk.org/t/installing-and-using-python-wrapped-remote-module/2104):
Hello!
I am trying to install itk-strain with pip, but I got an error (see below). Thus, I clicked on [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/itk-strain/)’s link to the [project’s homepage](https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITKStrain), and I got a 404. A quick search online shows that the [project is still there](https://github.com/KitwareMedical/ITKStrain).
Some days ago, I was able to install it, but I am unable to do it like this:
```
pip uninstall itk-elastix itk-tubetk itk-strain itk itk-core itk-filtering itk-io itk-minimalpathextraction itk-numerics itk-registration itk-segmentation
pip cache purge
pip install -U pip
pip install itk==5.3rc3
pip install itk-elastix
pip install itk-strain
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement itk-strain (from versions: none)
pip index versions itk-strain
WARNING: pip index is currently an experimental command. It may be removed/changed in a future release without prior warning.
ERROR: No matching distribution found for itk-strain
pip -V
pip 22.0.4 from "$HOME"/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip (python 3.10)
```
Thanks

Hi @edgar ,
Yes,
> pip install itk==5.3rc3
We need to build the package against the newer version of `itk`. In progress here:

`itk-strain-0.3.6` [is now available](https://pypi.org/project/itk-strain/#history).
It can be installed with:
```auto
pip install --upgrade --pre itk-strain
```
