Make sure to install GMSH (http://gmsh.info/) and add it to the search PATH in Windows. In anaconda GMSH can be installed by using

conda install python-gmsh

gmsh is in the PATH (i can launch it by "gmsh" in cmd), but issue is still occured

Hello... did you find a solution for this issue? I'm having the same problem and I'm not being able to fix it by adding to the PATH

[MaximilianFranz]

Probably a more stable variant to find the path of the gmsh executable during runtime is something like:

>>> import subprocess
>>> import os
>>> cmd = "which"
>>> subprocess.call([cmd, "gmsh"])
/opt/conda/envs/modugen-core/bin/gmsh
0
>>>

It's important to distinguish between Windows and Linux systems.

I have updated the detection mechanism to be able to find gmsh in more places. Site-packages are also searched now.
