Please read the installation instructions on GitHub

CloudCompare works as it is (no specific environment). It is located in CloudComPy310/CloudCompare/CloudCompare.app and can be launched from the Finder.

CloudComPy needs a Python 3.10 configuration with at least the following packages, either with conda or not:

numpy
scipy
requests
psutils
matplotlib

You can create an environment for CloudComPy with conda, from the terminal
(here, I chose to activate conda environment on demand: please adapt the instructions to your installation)
The following package list corresponds to the building environment, but you can adjust the list
(at least the above list):

conda activate
conda update -y -n base -c defaults conda

If your environment CloudComPy310 does not exist:

conda create --name CloudComPy310 python=3.10
   # --- erase previous env with the same name if existing

Add or update the packages:

conda activate CloudComPy310
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict
conda install "boost" "cgal" cmake draco ffmpeg "gdal" jupyterlab laszip "matplotlib" "mysql=8.0" "numpy" "opencv" "openssl=3.0.8" "pcl" "pdal" "psutil" pybind11 "qhull=2020.2" "qt=5.15.8" "scipy" sphinx_rtd_theme spyder tbb tbb-devel "xerces-c=3.2" xorg-libx11 || error_exit "conda environment ${CONDA_ENV} cannot be completed"
