Installation

• First, be sure to download, compile and install Assimp, from the official page:

  http://www.assimp.org/

  You’ll need Cmake, and Microsoft Visual Studio for Windows or Gcc for Linux and Mac (optionally, Mingw-w64).

• Second, install Numpy with:

  pip install numpy
  

• Third, download the zip package from

  https://github.com/jr-garcia/AssimpCy

  If you placed the headers and libraries in the dafault locations, extract the file and run:

  python setup.py build_ext
  

  If setup can’t find the headers or you placed them somewhere else, run:

  python setup.py build_ext -I'path/to/assimp/headers' -L'path/to/library/'
  

Attention

If you get an error saying: .. error:

Cannot open include file: 'types.h':

Be sure that the path to headers ends with ‘\assimp’

Cython is only necessary to rebuild the .cpp files, which you can do with:

python setup.py build_ext --force

Finally, run:

python setup.py install

To install the package. Check *basic_demo.py* for a simple example or read Usage.
