Is rhino run as administrator necessary for latest version of butterfly?

[kvwxyz1]

Hello,

Now that butterfly can be run with a windows installer, is it necessary to run rhino as administrator every time butterfly is used? I`m wondering if the following has not been updated since the windows installer became available. It is my understanding that admin was needed to use the virtual machine running the openfoam installer from previous.

“In order to butterfly you must run Rhino as an administrator. If you haven’t run Rhino as administrator, close Rhino and Grasshopper and run Rhino as administrator.”

Thanks, and sorry for cross-posting from ladybug forum.

No. It should run fine also as a normal user. Your understanding is correct. We should update the Wiki.

Hi,@kvwxyz1
This wiki is for butterfly Version 0.0.4. https://github.com/ladybug-tools/butterfly/wiki/2.1.-Getting-started-with-butterfly-in-grasshopper#2-installing-butterfly The newest version of butterfly is 0.0.5. The version is using BlueCFD as engine not necessary to use virtrual machine. https://github.com/ladybug-tools/butterfly/wiki/1.-blueCFD-Core-(OpenFOAM)-Installation. After you installed butterfly 0.0.5, you juse need to run Rhino as administrator,no need to run BlueCFD as administrator.
