Getting Started

1. Setting up the Anaconda environment with COMPAS

Execute the commands below in Anaconda Prompt:

(base) conda config --add channels conda-forge

Windows

(base) conda create -n learn python=3.8 compas_fab=0.17 --yes
(base) conda activate learn

Mac

(base) conda create -n learn python=3.8 compas_fab=0.17 python.app --yes
(base) conda activate learn

Verify Installation

(learn) pip show compas_fab ####
Name: compas-fab
Version: 0.13.1
Summary: Robotic fabrication package for the COMPAS Framework
...

Install on Rhino

(learn) python -m compas_rhino.install

NOTE: This installs to Rhino 6.0, use -v 5.0 if needed.

2. Installation of Dependencies

(learn) conda install git

Assembly Information Model

(learn) python -m pip install git+https://github.com/augmentedfabricationlab/assembly_information_model@master#egg=assembly_information_model
(learn) python -m compas_rhino.install -p assembly_information_model

UR Fabrication Control

(learn) python -m pip install git+https://github.com/augmentedfabricationlab/ur_fabrication_control@master#egg=ur_fabrication_control
(learn) python -m compas_rhino.install -p ur_fabrication_control

3. Cloning the Course Repository

Create a workspace directory:

C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\workspace

Then open Github Desktop and clone the following repository into you workspace folder:

L.E.A.R.N. repository

Voilà! You can now go to VS Code, Rhino or Grasshopper to run the example files!
