conda install pychrono can not use cascade, Irrlicht, and other extensions

Sup pychrono,
I'm a first time user, and conda install pychrono does not see pychrono.cascade, or pychrono.irrlicht, or any of the extensions.

You have the command here: https://projectchrono.org/pychrono/, which is the main page of the project (and where I expected to download it), but as I needed to import shapes it didn't work.

Specifically, I got import failure in python.

So point is - you probably should update the description for users like me that extensions won't work
Also mention it here: https://api.projectchrono.org/development/pychrono_installation.html

thanks - we'll correct the webpage.
The installation instructions are at https://api.projectchrono.org/development/pychrono_installation.html.
When you say "or any of the extensions" - what do you refer to? Irrlicht in fact should work.
We'll look into Cascade, not sure about this.

@MRiabov - please follow the installation instructions for the conda PyChrono package at: https://api.projectchrono.org/development/pychrono_installation.html.

As explained there, the command on the banner you posted will not install a proper version of PyChrono.

Which is what I did already, but only 4-5 hours of questioning my sanity later after I first downloaded the package. You know.
