Rhino.Compute rh9 on Linux?

felix.brunold · February 20, 2026, 8:30am

@fraguada After taking a look at the rhino.compute 9.x branch, do I see this correctly that we get rhino.compute running on Linux with Rhino 9? This would be huge!

@felix.brunold can you share a link?

Would be a reason for me to upgrade my license.

So I think there is nothing super explicit, but after my little investigation… I found things.

There is a full Linux setup workflow.

github.com/mcneel/compute.rhino3d

.github/workflows/workflow_package.yml

# for a list of available software on the different virtual environments, please see:

name: workflow package

  workflow_dispatch:
#  schedule:
#    - cron: '0 0 1 * *'

jobs:
  version:
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/9.x'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    outputs:
      version: ${{ steps.version_step.outputs.version }}

as well in the rhino.geometry different hints for it running on linux

like in here:

src/compute.geometry/Startup.cs

using System;
using Carter;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Serilog;

namespace compute.geometry

    public class Startup

        static readonly Guid s_rhinoCodePluginId = new Guid("c9cba87a-23ce-4f15-a918-97645c05cde7");

        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddCors(options =>
            {

Thanks @felix.brunold.

I remember that @stevebaer posted a comment some time ago about investigation in headless linux.
