conda activate view2
First Steps
Have a look at the examples for basic usage scenarios.
Dev Install
To get the latest unreleased version, you can install with pip
in a conda
environment
directly from the github repo.
Windows
conda create -n view2 python=3.8 git cython freeglut --yes
conda activate view2
pip install git+https://github.com/compas-dev/compas_view2.git#egg=compas_view2
Mac
conda create -n view2 python=3.8 cython python.app --yes
conda activate view2
pip install git+https://github.com/compas-dev/compas_view2.git#egg=compas_view2
By installing python.app
you can use pythonw
to run the viewers instead of python
.
This ensures that all components work as expected.
To configure VS Code to use pythonw
, change the python path in the settings of the workspace.
In .vscode/settings.json
{
...
"python.pythonPath": "/Users/xxx/anaconda3/envs/view2/bin/pythonw"
...
}
Linux
conda create -n view2 python=3.8 cython freetype-py --yes
conda activate view2
pip install git+https://github.com/compas-dev/compas_view2.git#egg=compas_view2
