How to install this add-on with a local develop taichi version

Open neozhaoliang opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hi, there. Thanks for publishing this add-on.

I'm using Ubuntu22.04 and my taichi is installed in the develop mode via python setup.py develop --user. I want to test how my local modifications on taichi work with Blender. I downloaded your repo and tried to install it for blender3.3 (the newest LTS version). But it reports the error "failed to install taichi". May I ask which blender version should I choose to use your add-on, and how can I make it find my local taichi (located in ~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/), not the one on PyPI?

So I think the question you want to ask is how Blender can use your system python version? If Blender uses the local python version it should get the developed tai chi version as well.
