What is going on with UseLinuxCondaBinary.md? #159

Open lefsky opened 7 months ago

I'm trying to install the cloudcompare binary and using the directions jn doc/UseLinuxCondaBinary.md

As far as I can tell, the instructions include everything but the actual installation. There is a reference to copying the binary to somewhere but what about the python library? Where does that happen?

Just a warning that Paul (the author and main contributor of the CloudCompy project) has lost his access to github... And he's having a hard time recovering it. So it may take some time for him to be back online!

If anyone has a direct method for installing cloudcompy on Linux, I'd appreciate hearing from you. I compile and install programs regularly but this one has me puzzled

Hi, Sorry to reply so late, my GitHub account has been blocked for over a month, so I haven't been able to reply. I hope you've already found a solution. Just in case: CloudComPy is a Python package built in C++ (PyBind11) on top of the CloudCompare C++ libraries. This is the binary you need to download. This binary requires a Conda environment that provides Python 3.10 and a large number of C++ libraries and Python packages (such as numpy) required by CloudComPy. A more integrated solution might have been to provide a Conda package with CloudComPy or a pip package, but this hasn't been done yet! Please don't hesitate to ask questions about parts that aren't clear. Best regards, Paul
