RhinoCompute - Installation issue

**Angel** · October 24, 2018, 1:18am

Hi everyone,

After giving a little try yesterday to Rhino3dm I jumped to try compute. The problem came installing it using pip: for some reason pip returns a message saying that the found version doesn’t satisfy the requirements on my installation/system.

I had no trouble installing rhino3dm in a similar way. Is compute requiring any specific settings or python distribution?

Thanks.

I’m seeing the same thing. I must have messed something up when uploading to PyPi. Looking into this now.

Ah, there’s no m on the end of the name for that package. pip install compute-rhino3d

Thanks! @stevebaer Check the reference page.

Solved

Got it, thanks. I just fixed the typo. The web site page will probably update in a few minutes to show my changes.

@stevebaer,

you should also mention CMake as a requirement for rhino3dm. Just tried to install that and I got:

What operating system and version of python are you working with? I supply already compiled binaries for several. I realize your post is somewhat off topic as you are referring to rhino3dm instead of compute-rhino3d which doesn’t require any build tools

**ivelin.peychev** · October 24, 2018, 1:14am

I’m on Win10 pro and WinPython3.6.6 (the custom portable python environment)

after installing CMake it got built successfully

Ok, I don’t use that version of python as I only compile for the latest standard CPython editions of 2.7 and 3.7 (32 and 64 bit). There are more requirements than just CMake to get this distribution to compile for your version. You can build it yourself by following the instructions at

github.com

mcneel/rhino3dm/blob/master/docs/python/RHINO3DM-BUILD.PY.md

# Build rhino3dm.py for yourself
### Get The Source

This repo uses [OpenNURBS](https://github.com/mcneel/opennurbs) and [pybind11](https://github.com/pybind/pybind11) as submodules, so you need to run another git command after you have cloned. `cd` into the new repository directory and run
  * `git submodule update --init`

## Install the Tools

CMake 3.12.1 is the minimum required CMake version.

* Mac
  * Install Homebrew (https://brew.sh/)
  * `brew install python2 cmake` (for Python 2.7 compile)
  * `brew install python3 cmake` (for Python 3.7 compile)
* Windows
  * This project uses Visual Studio 2017
  * Install the flavor of CPython that you prefer to work with from python.org
  * Install CMake (https://cmake.org/download/) and make sure that cmake.exe is added to the path
* Linux
  * Tested with Clang 3.8.0 on Linux Mint 18.3
