Installation#

You can install pytransform3d with pip:

pip install pytransform3d

or conda (since version 1.8):

conda install -c conda-forge pytransform3d

(More detailed instructions here.)

Optional Dependencies#

When using pip, you can install pytransform3d with the options all, doc, and test.

  • all will add support for loading meshes, the 3D visualizer of pytransform3d, and pydot export of TransformManager objects.

  • doc will install necessary dependencies to build this documentation.

  • test will install dependencies to run the unit tests.

For example, you can call

python -m pip install 'pytransform3d[all]'

Unfortunately, pip cannot install all dependencies:

  • If you want to have support for pydot export of TransformManager objects, make sure to install graphviz (on Ubuntu: sudo apt install graphviz) if you want to use this feature.

  • If you want to have support for the Qt GUI you have to install PyQt 4 or 5 (on Ubuntu: sudo apt install python3-pyqt5; conda: conda install pyqt).

Installation from Source#

You can also install from the current git version. pytransform3d is available at GitHub. Clone the repository and go to the main folder. Install dependencies with:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Install the package with:

python setup.py install

pip also supports installation from a git repository:

pip install git+https://github.com/dfki-ric/pytransform3d.git
