I am trying to compute a class of Minkowski sums for some mathematical work, but there are too many to do by hand in a reasonable amount of time. I found this documentation for a package called scikit-geometry, but when I write import skgeom as sg as in the examples in the documentation, VSCode can’t find the module.
The documentation says nothing about installation methods, and since I assume I need to install the package, I tried using similar methods as other scikit packages; e.g. python -m pip install -U scikit-geometry in the command line; but none of them work. In the case of the command line, I get:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement scikit-geometry (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distruction found for scikit-geometry
I’m a complete beginner to anything past basic implementation of algorithms (as I am a pure mathematician by training), so I’m not sure where to go from here. I would like to be able to use the package, but I do not know enough computer science to specifically describe the issue I am having– I hope that this post is detailed enough.

Answer
If you use conda try this :
conda install -c conda-forge scikit-geometry
If this does not work, install CGAL 5.0 and try it again:
python -m pip install -e . -v
