Hi,
have you followed the instructions on the documentation page? https://sofapython3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/content/Installation.html#using-python3
hi @alxbilger, thank you for your quick reply. Yes i followed the documentation page
Can you make sure that you are able to open a Python scene within runSofa
? Also verify again the values in SOFA_ROOT
and PYTHONPATH
.
Hi @Gabriele111 , There is also a slightly more verbose guide on https://scheiklp.github.io/sofa_env/setting_up_sofa.html
i tried with liver.py and springForceField.py and it does work.
Could you check that the library files were correctly linked to your env?
https://scheiklp.github.io/sofa_env/setting_up_sofa.html#manually-linking-sofapython3-to-python
i forgot to mention that i installed sofa from binary for ubuntu
Ah, yes, then you can do the same as described here https://scheiklp.github.io/sofa_env/setting_up_sofa.html#manually-linking-sofapython3-to-python.
In the downloaded zip, the path is the same (plugins/SofaPython3/lib/python3/site-packages)
Hi @ScheiklP, thank you for your reply. I did as you said and now it seems to find sofa module and python. But it gives another error i can't solve, which happens when it tries to install gym and it says '..error in gym setup command: 'extras_require' must be a dictionary whose values are strings or lists of strings containing valid project/version requirement specifiers. '
Hi @Gabriele111,
How do you install gym? pip install gym==0.21.0
?
I tried both with pip install gym==0.21.0 , with git clone and conda install
Could you try downgrading setuptools and wheel? It sounds a bit like this problem here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76129688/why-is-pip-install-gym-failing-with-python-setup-py-egg-info-did-not-run-succ
Even though I am not quite sure, why it complains about extras_require
, if you do not pass it at all.
Maybe this can give more insights https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/issues/8078
I am currently porting sofa_env to gymnasium, so that problem is only temporary.
i managed to solve it using 'conda install -c conda-forge gym==0.21.0'. But it tells me it needs python3.9 to work but i used python3.8. Does sofa need python3.8 to use python plugin or i can use python3.9 as well?
Nice! The binaries that you can download from the website are built with python3.8, so they will also only work with python3.8. My best advice would be to build sofa from source with a python version of your choosing. I am currently using python3.10.
Ok thank you very much for your help!!
You're very welcome. Let me know, if you need more help.
Hi @ScheiklP, sorry to bother you again. I am trying to install sofa from source so that i can use a =>3.9 version of python as you suggested. I'm facing some problems though. when i compile sofa with cmake i get this error 'Adding plugin SofaPython3 CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:146 (message): Could NOT find Python (missing: Python_LIBRARIES Python_INCLUDE_DIRS Development) (found suitable version "3.9.18", minimum required is "3.7") Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:393 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE) /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindPython/Support.cmake:2214 (find_package_handle_standard_args) /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindPython.cmake:304 (include) applications/plugins/SofaPython3/CMakeLists.txt:86 (find_package)'
No worries. That sounds like a cmake problem. Could you try upgrading your cmake to at least 3.19? I am currently using 3.22.
i am using 3.26.4
The error says you are using 3.16.
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.16
you're right, but if i check cmake --version it tells it's 3.26.4. that's strange. Anyway i tried to uninstall and install it again but the version doesn't change
Hmmmm, it's a bit hard debugging that remotely. Personally, I would try
Hi @ScheiklP, i have a doubt: i managed to configure sofa with cmake, when i add sofapython3 plugin from the camke-gui i don't get any errors but when i check the plug-in list (plugin_list.conf.default), sofapython3 is not there. is it normal?
thank you!
Hi @Gabriele111 I do not have any experience with the cmake-gui. That's also why I did not include it in the sofa_env instructions on how to build SOFA. ;) https://github.com/ScheiklP/sofa_env_devel/blob/main/docs/source/setting_up_sofa.rst
Also the default plugin list is manually adapted AFTER compiling SOFA. https://github.com/ScheiklP/sofa_env_devel/blob/main/docs/source/setting_up_sofa.rst#:~:text=Add%20SofaPython3%20to%20the%20list%20of%20default%20plugins%20so%20that%20SOFA%20loads%20it%20by%20default.
Hi @ScheiklP, i built sofa from source using python 3.9.18. The problem is SofaPython3 plugin is not present in sofa when i run it and it's not in the plugin list either, even though, when building sofa, i don't get any errors.
Thank you for your help.
Hi @Gabriele111,
When you say run sofa, do you mean running the runSofa
binary, or importing it in python python3 -c "import Sofa"
?
I mean the runSofa.exe( i'm using windows right now) binary placed in the ../sofa/build/bin/Release directory
Hi @Gabriele111, I have absolute no experience with SOFA on Windows. Maybe @hugtalbot knows who would be the best person to ask?
ok, thank you anyway. Have you ever faced a similar problem with ubutu?
I am not sure what the actual problem is.
Basically, when i compile sofa using cmake it says that it is adding sofapython3 and it seems not to have any problems. But when i run runSofa.exe sofapython3 is not in the plugin list and i cannot open python scenes in sofa. I can't load it manually fromn the plugin manager either. I tried also to follow the guide to install python3 on github but the problem still remains.
i forgot to say that i fetched sofapython3 using the variable sofa_fetch_sofapython3 in cmake
Hi everyone,
i'm trying to install sofa_env for sofa. i already downloaded it from git hub but when i try to install it (i tried dirrent location: in the same environment as sofa, in the sofa folder, in the bin folder, etc), it tells me that it doesn't find the sofa module with sofapython3. Actually sofapython3 is in sofa (i can see it in the plugin manager). it looks like a path problem, like it can't find sofa for some reason, maybe i'm trying to install it in the wrong place. Can someone help me please?? maybe @ScheiklP
thank you very much!!
