Partio

Back to Index

We are almost there. 

Even though Partio was compiled as a external lib for SPlisHSPlasH, it doesn't have the Python version of it. We need to compile it from the source.

Again, clone the repository:

• git clone https://github.com/wdas/partio.git
• cd partio
• sudo apt-get install swig
• Version 4.0 is expected. This is for Python binding. Install via sudo so CMake can see it

Write on main CMakeLists to install the lib in the conda environment:

• In the begining of the file: 
• set(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX "/home/liliane/miniconda/envs/DeepFluid" CACHE PATH "" FORCE )
• In the end of the file:
• message(STATUS "Instalation dir: " ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX})

Note: remember to change the user name as yours, and cofigure it with CMake two times. The installation directory may not be changed in the first time.

Now, compile it:

• mkdir build && cd build
• cmake ..
• make install
• python3 -c "import partio; print('Worked')"
• Must print "Worked" with no errors
