Installation
Create a conda environment
The basic prerequisite to install compas_tno
and the COMPAS packages is Anaconda. Install it on you machine and go to the next step.
We highly recommend to install compas_tno
and related packages in a separate conda environment.
In this guide, we will create and use an environmenment based on Python 3.9 or newer with the name tno
.
Open your terminal and type the following to create a new environmenment and install the dependencies COMPAS, triangle and the COMPAS Standalone Viewer:
conda create -n tno -c conda-forge python=3.9 COMPAS
The base environment is active by default. Activate the tno
environment with:
conda activate tno
Installing compas_tno
The most direct way to work with compas_tno
is by installing it from PyPI. Navigate in the terminal to the folder and type:
pip install compas_tno
This install compas_tno
and the base required COMPAS packages.
Standalone viewer
The Standalone viewer in COMPAS Masonry is used currently to display 3D solutions directly from the terminal. The installation can be done through conda:
conda install -c conda-forge compas_masonry
To finalise the installation you need to install a few additonal Solvers to your environmenment following the additional guide.
Currently, a work-in-progress UI is being develeoped for Rhino 8 and is coming soon.
