Which Python version are you using? TractConverter only supports Python 2.7.

Also, note that TractConverter has been deprecated in favor of Nibabel for a few years now.

Excuse me, besides this method, I would like to ask how to convert TRK files into VTK files?

[Marc-Alexandre Côté]

Hi. I wouldn't use TractConverter to do the conversion. See the following for an example of how to covert TRK to VTK using Dipy
