CloudCompare_2.14 alpha (march 14, 2025) for macOS (arm64) with PythonPlugin (read instructions before install!)
This application is self contained, signed and notarized. Please post issues on CloudCompare GitHub in case of problem.
On first run, you'll get the following message (no way has yet been found to bypass this warning when Python is integrated and allowed to install packages from the Internet):
You have to cancel and (right click/menu) open, or, in Apple menu / system settings / privacy and security, authorize the opening of CloudCompare.app:
Then open. It's done!
This version embeds the PythonPlugin from Thomas Montaigu (Warning: this plugin has been developped independently from CloudComPy and the Python scripts are not compatible)
This version also embeds a Python 3.11 environment with numpy.
If you want to install other Python packages, you have to install a Python 3.11 virtual environment outside the CloudCompare app.
For instance, to create a virtual environment named ccenv in the same directory as CloudCompare:
./CloudCompare.app/Contents/Resources/python/bin/python -m venv ccenv --system-site-packages --upgrade-deps
Launch CloudCompare, and from menu plugins / Python Plugin / Show Settings select local and the ccenv directory.
Restart CloudCompare, then install Python packages from menu plugins / Python Plugin / Package manager (for instance, scipy). See the PythonPlugin documentation.
Warning! there's still a problem with the PoissonRecon plugin, which causes random aborts.
