However, when I try to install it, I get this error msg:
“C:\Program Files\Rhino 7\System\Yak.exe” install panelingtools
Downloading PanelingTools (2024.8.20.677)…
ERROR: No compatible distribution found for PanelingTools (2024.8.20.677)
From the Food4Rhino page, I understand that PT 2024.8.20.677 only works with Rhino 8.
Why is it showing up in Rhino 7 yak.exe search/install?
The yak cli reference page (Rhino - Yak Command Line Tool Reference) doesn’t seem to show any relevant options for search/install that I would have to use for limiting either to valid R7 results.
I should also mention that the 2024.8.20.677 version does not show up in the R7 PackageManager:
The 2024.8.20.677 version released yesterday is compiled with V8 SDK and hence it will not work with V7. The latest version that runs with V7 is the one shown by the packagemanager (2021.3.2.446)
@will can you shed light on the Yak search tools for V7?
Am I right in saying that the PackageManger and yak.exe cli don’t share the same codebase? So the PM can distinguish between R7 and R8 packages, but yak cannot?
What we are doing is install third party packages that we rely on (currently Clipper and PanelingTools) through a package updater that runs every morning. This updater not only makes sure that our own plug-ins are kept up-to-date, but it also does this for external packages. This installer/updater relies on cli yak.exe
This approach has worked for a quite a few years, but seems to hit the buffers now that R8 is out. Sadly, yak.exe search does not show me what package version is compatible with what version of Rhino:
