Other Environments

PyChrono

To install chrono, you must make a different environment, as it conflicts with some of the packages here.

sudo apt install libirrlicht-dev

conda create -n chrono
conda activate chrono
conda install pip
conda install -y -c projectchrono/label/develop pychrono
conda install -y spyder numpy matplotlib scipy
conda install -c dlr-sc pythonocc-core #permits you to use python-occ to generate some geometry

Options

conda install -y -c projectchrono pychrono # to install the stable install
conda install -y -c conda-forge irrlicht # not sure it's needed

Older Stuff

Kivy Development specific packages (optional)

#python -m pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew

Packages required for some of my vision based packages. (opencv downgrades python)
