Getting Started

Requirements

• Rhino 7 / Grasshopper
• Anaconda Python
• Visual Studio Code
• Github Desktop
• Docker Community Edition: Download it for Windows. Leave “switch Linux containers to Windows containers” disabled.
• Unity Hub

• Unity 2022.3.3f1

• Dependencies

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 embodied_coputation compas_fab=0.22.0 compas_eve compas --yes
(base) conda activate embodied_coputation

Mac

(base) conda create -n embodied_coputation compas_fab=0.22.0 compas_eve compas --yes
(base) conda activate embodied_coputation

Verify Installation

(embodied_coputation) pip show compas_fab

2. Installation of Dependencies

(embodied_coputation) conda install git

3. Cloning the Course Repository

Create a workspace directory:

C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\workspace\projects

Then open Github Desktop and clone the Embodied Computation repository repository into your projects folder. Then install the repo within your environment (in editable mode):

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