Installation

One of the goals for Nanomesh is that it is easy to install. This means that all dependencies are available from PyPi.

If you use conda, it is advised to create a new environment:

conda create -n nanomesh python=3.8
conda activate nanomesh

Install nanomesh:

pip install nanomesh

Note, to enable the IPython widgets:

jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension

Note, if you are using Jupyter lab:

jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager jupyter-matplotlib jupyterlab-datawidgets itkwidgets

Tetgen

For tetrahedral meshing, Nanomesh requires tetgen to be installed.

If you are a conda user, you can do:

conda install -c conda-forge tetgen

Binaries are available here, and compilation instructions here.

Make sure tetgen is available on a directory on your system path. To verify tetgen is available, make sure that the following commands return a path:

Linux/MacOS

which tetgen

Windows

gcm tetgen.exe
