Features

The installation instructions are in the package, in doc/UseLinuxCondaBinary.md

This version does not require Conda anymore but requires a Python 3.12 environment with at least the following packages:

numpy requests psutil scipy numpy-quaternion cmake matplotlib

For instance, create a Python virtual environment with venv (adapt the path for Your Python 3.12 install and for the virtual env). In the terminal :

path/to/python3.12 -m venv ${HOME}/.venv312

source ${HOME}/.venv312/bin/activate

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

pip install numpy scipy requests psutil matplotlib numpy-quaternion cmake

Unzip the CloudcomPy binary in the directory of your choice.

Before using CloudCompare or CloudComPy, you need to load the environment, with 2 steps :

- The Python virtual environment:

source ${HOME}/.venv312/bin/activate

Changelog

This version brings the following features:

- cloudComPy is based on CloudCompare 2.14alpha (master May 1st, 2026), with various patches needed by cloudComPy.

- cloudComPy is now built with a Conda Python 3.12 environment and Qt6.10.

- A new procedure to build the Windows packaging

- All the packagings (Windows, Linux, macOS) embed all the required libraries: easier to install and maintain,

needs just a Python 3.12 environment with some packages. Windows packaging does not work with Spyder or Jupyter, but with VS code.

- This new packaging is a step toward creating PyPI wheels, but wheels are not yet operational.

- (issue #213) ComputeVolume25D : allow for groundHeight and ceilHeight to be None

- (issue #216) Hough Plugin

- several minor fixes and doc improvement.
