Install single GeoModel packages to speed up your development cycle¶

Most of the times, you need to install all the base GeoModel libraries and tools; for example, when working on the development of sub-detectors’ plugins. And for that you can refer to the Install page.

Sometimes, however, you want to develop some of the GeoModel packages, but you don’t want to build the whole software stack from sources every time.

For that use case, you can install the insgle binary packages distributed through the GeoModel distribution kits.

macOS¶

You might have noticed, in the Install page, that installing the package geomodelvisualization also installs all the base libraries and their dependencies. However, you can install single packages too.

Install the GeoModel base libraries¶

brew install geomodel

This installs only the base packages: GeoModelCore and GeoModellIO.

This is useful when you want to develop the GeoModelTools or GeoModelVisualization packages only, and you don’t want to take care of the build of the base libraries too.

Install the graphical libraries¶

brew install soqt-geomodel

This installs the graphical libraries needed for the 3D graphics: simage, coin, and soqt. Installing soqt-geomodel will install all the three libraries. But you can install them separately, if you need:

brew install simage-geomodel
brew install coin-geomodel
brew install soqt-geomodel

This is especially useful when testing new versions of the graphical libraries.
