glider workbench

[freecad-heini-1]

Hi looo,
what a nice workbench. Please can you explain me how to install it on Ubuntu.
Better to place your workbench into the addon-manager, if possible.
Thank you so much and best regards
Wilfried

no, it's not yet possible to install this workbench easily. This is mostly because of difficult dependencies. We are working towards an easy install with pip. Ideally installing the whole set of packages necessary for the workbench will look like this:

Code: Select all

pip install freecad-glider

Currently we are using conda to install all the libraries. Conda is similar to pip but allows to install more difficult libraries (eg.: FreeCAD and occt) As packaging is really a time-intensive work, we are concentrating on conda and pip. All other solutions like (apt, yum...) are not suited for such a small projects.

I always said that the add-on-manager of freecad is a solution for a solved problem. But the problem why freecad couldn't use the standard python package-manager was a bad design of the workbenches. This should be solved with the new-style modules, and therefor the standard python package manager (pip) can be used. Hopefully we can integrate pip into the addon-manager for the 0.18 version.

Hi Looo! I could not install the glider filebench. It would be good to see a youtube video about its installation. Thanks, Robi

Please always post your version data in the manner explain in the forum rules link above the help forum.

I deleted your duplicate post. Please post again if I missed something.

I recently learned that pip can install from github. So this will simplify the installation a bit. this should work:

Code: Select all

pip install https://github.com/booya-at/OpenGlider/archive/singleskin.zip
pip install https://github.com/booya-at/freecad-glider/archive/singleskin.zip

meshpy will be compiled, so this will take some minutes...

thanks for testing. I have updated freecad_glider. pip has a --upgrade option, but this will pull all the dependencies from pip. This is not good, as it will replace system version which are shipped with the distro. Better simple uninstall and install the package:

Code: Select all

pip uninstall freecad_glider
pip install https://github.com/booya-at/freecad_glider/archive/singleskin.zip
