bifacial_radiance.py missing #34

Closed nplola closed 5 years ago

nplola commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I just installed followed instructions from the installation guide by Silvana Ayala. It seems it all went well but when I run Spyder and tried to open the bifacial_radiance.py file I noticed the Bifacial_radiance-master folder I unzipped is missing it. Instead I could see some other .py files that are not shown in the video.

bf_r folder

Does it have something to do with being a new release? Can you help me, please?

Thank you.

I believe you are posting your problem in the wrong place. This repository is for radiance iteself and not bifacial.

Then... can you tell me where can I post this issue, please?

@nplola please post your issue at bifacial_radiance, and close this one here. Thanks! This is the repository for RADIANCE, not bifacial-radiance, which only uses RADIANCE for ray-tracing calculations.

However, I think I can answer your question and save you time. there is no module called bifacial_radiance.py, instead it is a Python package - you can examine the bifacial-radiance master tree to see for yourself.

So to solve your problem and continue with the instructions, simply MOVE ONE FOLDER BACK UP, then follow the directions. EG: in a terminal:

path/to/bifacial_radiance $ ls

bifacial_radiance    <-- this is the Python package
