1 year ago @tlopez-olocco when you are running MoorDyn with a wind turbine are you using the version in OpenFAST? The best way to test that version is by using the MoorDynF driver that ships with OpenFAST. It allows you to run MoorDynF stand alone. Instructions can be found here, and once compiled it is called by executing moordyn_driver MoorDyn.dvr in the command line.
With regards to this error, I will defer to @sanguinariojoe who set up the wrapper.
In the meantime, if you want to setup MoorDynC as a python module locally, you can do the following:
- Compile MoorDyn from the source code here
- Once that compiles successfully, change to
MoorDyn/build/wrappers/python/and execute the following commandpython setup.py installThis will build the python module locally from the source code you have installed.

I was trying to install the standalone version of moordyn to run some test without coupling the wind turbine.
This is what I do:
python -m pip install moordyn or pip install moordyn
Here is the error message I get:

I am wondering, is it maybe because I am missing some python packages installed? Or it may be something else? Any additional files from the github repository I might have to have in some kind of path?
Thanks in advance!
