Create first time setup / install script and readme update #13

Closed Amatobahn closed 1 year ago

Amatobahn commented 4 years ago

It is not been uncommon to have a lot of confusion to set up the environment properly to get bqt to run properly. (noting the requirements for https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe among the required python packages)

bob-white commented 4 years ago

Yeah, the process is kind of obscure and insane, and behaves very differently depending on how you install things.

Really do need to write something up for the whole thing.

TravisEvashkevich commented 4 years ago

I had started a bat/py file to do setup and such, but I don't know if it was totally finished and the redist mentioned above wasn't in my list of reqs. Just checked and it was mostly a "reqs" install and copy py3.dll to the folder (as per talks with you guys before)

Amatobahn commented 4 years ago

Yeah that actually may be just fine. I think the redist was something we had figured out from a completely fresh OS install that may have not received the redist from some other means. I think that as long as we can verify it working we should push it to the repository.

Amatobahn commented 4 years ago

Partial progress has been made with the official PyPi package that will auto-install all the dependencies we need for blender to work with bqt out of the box.. We currently now just need to update the Readme to reflect the changes

hannesdelbeke commented 1 year ago

aynone knows if this is still needed? don't think this is needed anymore

copy py3.dll to the folder

thinking of doing some changes to the setup, will discuss in slack.

hannesdelbeke commented 1 year ago
