Hello there,  
I have been frustrated with getting SimpleITK working with jupyter past week.

I have been following the instructions on this article : [SimpleITK Tutorial](https://simpleitk.org/TUTORIAL/) . I have installed everything that is necessary. However when in Jupyter, I am getting the following error: See Image

 ![error](https://discourse.itk.org/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a7e13804487189b12d729447b23745c4a819b4bd.png)

What I have tried so far:  
Completely re-install everything from the beginning.  
I have correctly added PATH to System Variables:"C:\Users\Devo\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages

`condalist` command includes the following in it :` simpleitk 2.2.1 py39h82bb817_0 simpleitk`

`conda info` command includes the information below:

> active environment : sitkpy  
> active env location : C:\Users\Devo\anaconda3\envs\sitkpy  
> shell level : 2

Can I get some help, please?

Hello @devo99,

There is a problem with the SimpleITK windows distribution on the anaconda channel, will be addressed in the next release (expected in the next couple of weeks). For now, install it using pip:

```auto
conda activate sitkpy
conda remove SimpleITK
pip install SimpleITK

```
