Manual install

An installation procedure for those who want to use RV2 in combination with other tools and environments.

Use a "manual" install if you want to be able to modify the conda environment used by RV2, for example to install additional packages, or if you simply want to be able to use the latest, unreleased version of the code.

1. Create a custom environment

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda create -n rv2 cython compas==1.14.1
conda activate rv2

2. Activate the environment

conda activate rv2

3. Install compas-RV2

pip install compas-rv2==1.4.7

1.4.7 is the latest released version of RV2. You can return to this environment at any time and install a specific version of RV2.

4. Install Rhino plugin

python -m compas_rv2.install --version 7.0
