Install and run¶

This part explain how to install Plantscan3d.

Anaconda¶

OpenAlea is distributed through Anaconda. So first we have to install it. All information for installation is available from the Anaconda documentation website. Then, we will use Anaconda navigator, a GUI for managing Anaconda environments.

Environment¶

Open Anaconda navigator. This can take a while (10 seconds to 1 minute). Then, go to “Environments”. Click on the Create button : Name it openalea and create it. It will create an isolated environment with an installation of python (e.g. Python 3.7). We now have to import the different packages for plantscan3d. The packages are bundled in two channels, the one from conda-forge, and the one from Frédéric Boudon. Add a channel by clicking on the channels button: image-channels Then, click on Add…, and add these two channels (just copy/paste it as is):

https://anaconda.org/fredboudon
conda-forge

Click on update index: image-update

Then click on the ribbon named Installed, and replace by Not Installed. Search plantscan3d, check the box and click on apply (twice). The package will be installed along with all its dependencies.

And that’s it !

Run¶

To run Plantscan3D, open your openalea environment, and click on the play button: image-play2 which is located on the “environments” panel:

image-play

Choose “open a terminal”, and type the following command:
