+Python 3.10 Extra Instructions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-Loading and Plotting an ANSYS Archive File
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+PyMAPDL-Reader requires the `VTK library <https://vtk.org/>`_ which, at the
+moment, is not available for Python 3.10 in `their official channel
+<https://pypi.org/project/vtk/>`_.
+
+If you wish to install PyMAPDL-Reader in Python 3.10, you can still do it by
+using the unofficial VTK wheel from PyVista using ``--find-links``. This tells ``pip`` to look for vtk at `wheels.pyvista.org <https://wheels.pyvista.org/>`_. Use this with::
+
+    pip install ansys-mapdl-reader --find-links https://wheels.pyvista.org/
+
+Please visit `Unofficial VTK Wheels for Python 3.10
+<https://github.com/pyvista/pyvista/discussions/2064>`_ for further details.

 ANSYS archive files containing solid elements (both legacy and
 modern), can be loaded using Archive and then converted to a vtk
 object.
