Did anybody have the problem with makeOctfile, After I run octfile = demo.makeOct(demo.getfilelist()), then it showed the error can't find file. Even if I have changed the Shell=True.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users.conda\envs\pySMARTS_example\lib\site-packages\IPython\core\interactiveshell.py", line 3460, in run_code exec(code_obj, self.user_global_ns, self.user_ns) File "", line 5, in octfile = demo.makeOct(filelist) File "C:\Users\Desktop\bifacial_radiance\bifacialradiance\main.py", line 1895, in makeOct ,err = _popen(filelist, None, f) File "C:\Users\Desktop\bifacial_radiance\bifacial_radiance\main.py", line 100, in _popen p = Popen(cmd, bufsize=-1, stdin=PIPE, stdout=data_out, stderr=PIPE, shell=shell) #shell=True required for Linux? quick fix, but may be security concern File "C:\Users.conda\envs\pySMARTS_example\lib\subprocess.py", line 858, in init self._execute_child(args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds, File "C:\Users.conda\envs\pySMARTS_example\lib\subprocess.py", line 1327, in _execute_child hp, ht, pid, tid = _winapi.CreateProcess(executable, args, FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] System cannot find the specific file。

This is almost certainly because the RADIANCE executables are not set up on your PATH directory. Please follow the install instructions here, and particularly pay attention to setting up the PATH and RAYPATH environment variables.
