Installation
============
If you'd like to work with the C++ core of IfcOpenShell, these guides will show
you how to compile and install IfcOpenShell.
.. note::
It is not necessary to compile IfcOpenShell if you only want to use
IfcOpenShell-Python, IfcConvert, or the other utilities such as IfcClash or
IfcDiff. Compilation is only necessary for C++ developers.
You will need:
- `Git <https://git-scm.com/>`__
- `CMake <https://cmake.org/>`__ (3.1.3 or newer)
IfcOpenShell depends on:
- `Boost <http://www.boost.org/>`__
- (Optional) `OpenCascade <https://dev.opencascade.org/>`__ - for building IfcGeom
For converting IFC representation items into BRep solids and tessellated meshes
- (Optional) `OpenCOLLADA <https://github.com/khronosGroup/OpenCOLLADA/>`__ -
for IfcConvert to be able to write tessellated Collada (.dae) files
- (Optional) `SWIG <http://www.swig.org/>`__ and `Python
<https://www.python.org/>`__ - for building the IfcOpenShell Python interface
and use in the BlenderBIM Add-on
- (Optional) `HDF5 <https://www.hdfgroup.org/solutions/hdf5>`__ - for caching
geometry using the HDF5 format
Compiling on Linux
------------------
The following instructions are for Ubuntu, modify as required for other
operating systems. GCC (4.7 or newer) or Clang (any version) is required.
.. seealso::
The `nix/build-all.py <https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/tree/master/nix/build-all.py>`__
script can be experimented with and studied for pointers for other operating
systems. Note that this script is not currently meant to be used for a
typical IfcOpenShell workspace setup.
1. Fetch the latest source code, including all submodules.
::
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenshell.git
.. warning::
The path where the source code is cloned to can contain spaces but non-ASCII
characters are very likely to cause problems with the build.
2. Install basic dependencies:
::
$ sudo apt-get install git cmake gcc g++ libboost-all-dev libcgal-dev
3. Install OpenCascade Technology (OCCT).
::
$ sudo apt-get install libocct-data-exchange-dev libocct-draw-dev libocct-foundation-dev libocct-modeling-algorithms-dev libocct-modeling-data-dev libocct-ocaf-dev libocct-visualization-dev
.. seealso::
If OCCT is not available, you can `manually compile OCCT
<https://dev.opencascade.org/release>`__.
Alternatively you may use OpenCascade Community Edition (OCE) but it may lag behind OCCT so is not recommended.
::
$ sudo apt-get install liboce-foundation-dev liboce-modeling-dev liboce-ocaf-dev liboce-visualization-dev liboce-ocaf-lite-dev
You may also manually compile OCE:
::
$ sudo apt-get install libftgl-dev libtbb2 libtbb-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libfreetype6-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/tpaviot/oce.git
$ cd oce
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
# Replace X with number of CPU cores + 1
$ make -j X
$ sudo make install
4. For building IfcConvert with COLLADA (.dae) support (on by default), OpenCOLLADA is needed:
::
$ sudo apt-get install libpcre3-dev libxml2-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCOLLADA.git
$ cd OpenCOLLADA
# Using a known good revision, but HEAD should work too:
$ git checkout 064a60b65c2c31b94f013820856bc84fb1937cc6
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
# Replace X with number of CPU cores + 1
$ make -j X
$ sudo make install
5. For building the IfcPython wrapper (on by default), SWIG and Python development are needed:
::
$ sudo apt-get install python-all-dev swig
6. For building support for HDF5 caching (off by default), install dependencies:
::
$ sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev libaec-dev zlibc
7. Compile IfcOpenShell itself.
::
$ cd /path/to/IfcOpenShell
$ mkdir build && cd build
# Customise the compile options to suit your environment
# Check all paths are valid for your environment
$ cmake ../cmake \
-DOCC_LIBRARY_DIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ \
-DOCC_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/ \
# Optional Collada support
-DCOLLADA_SUPPORT=On
-DOPENCOLLADA_INCLUDE_DIR="/usr/local/include/opencollada" \
-DOPENCOLLADA_LIBRARY_DIR="/usr/local/lib/opencollada" \
-DPCRE_LIBRARY_DIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ \
# Optional HDF5 support
-DHDF5_SUPPORT=On
-DHDF5_LIBRARIES="/usr/local/hdf5/lib/libhdf5_cpp.so;/usr/local/hdf5/lib/libhdf5.so;/usr/lib64/libz.so;/usr/lib64/libsz.so;/usr/lib64/libaec.so" \
-DHDF5_INCLUDE_DIR="/usr/local/hdf5/include" \
-DCGAL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include \
-DGMP_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include \
-DMPFR_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include \
-DGMP_LIBRARY_DIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu \
-DMPFR_LIBRARY_DIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
# Replace X with number of CPU cores + 1
$ make -j X
# Optionally install to the system
$ sudo make install
Compiling on MacOS
------------------
GCC (4.7 or newer) or Clang (any version) is required.
1. Fetch the latest source code, including all submodules.
::
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenshell.git
.. warning::
The path where the source code is cloned to can contain spaces but non-ASCII
characters are very likely to cause problems with the build.
2. Install all dependencies using `Homebrew <https://brew.sh/>`__
::
$ brew install boost swig cmake ftgl cgal gmp libaec opencascade
3. Build IfcOpenShell with flags for Homebrew dependencies (``/usr/local/``)
::
$ cd /path/to/IfcOpenShell
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ../cmake -DOCC_LIBRARY_DIR=/usr/local/lib/ \
-DOCC_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/opencascade/ \
-DCOLLADA_SUPPORT=0 \
-DCGAL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/ \
-DGMP_LIBRARY_DIR=/usr/local/lib/ \
-DMPFR_LIBRARY_DIR=/usr/local/lib/
# Replace X with number of CPU cores + 1
$ make -j X -lboost_options
Compiling on Windows (Visual Studio)
------------------------------------
This is for users of `Visual Studio <https://www.visualstudio.com/>`__ 2008 to
2019 (2022 not yet supported by dependency CMake) with C++ toolset (or `Visual
C++ Build Tools <http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools>`__).
1. Fetch the latest source code, including all submodules.
::
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenshell.git
.. warning::
The path where the source code is cloned to can contain spaces but non-ASCII
characters are very likely to cause problems with the build.
2. Assuming Visual Studio 2015 x64 environment variables set, build dependencies
and run cmake.
::
$ cd IfcOpenShell\win
$ build-deps.cmd
$ run-cmake.bat
3. Open and build the solution file in Visual Studio:
::
$ ..\build-vs2015-x64\IfcOpenShell.sln
As the scripts default to using the ``RelWithDebInfo`` configuration, and a
freshly created solution by CMake defaults to ``Debug``, make sure to switch the
used build configuration. Build the ``INSTALL`` project (right-click -> Project
Only) to deploy the headers and binaries into a single location if
wanted/needed.
Alternatively, one can use the utility batch file(s) to build and install the
project easily from the command-line (installing a project will build it
also, if required):
::
$ install-ifcopenshell.bat
.. seealso::
For more information on configuring a Windows compilation see the `Windows
Readme
<https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/blob/v0.7.0/win/readme.md>`__.
Compiling on Windows (MSYS2 + MinGW)
------------------------------------
This is for users of `MSYS2 <https://msys2.github.io/>`__ and `MinGW
<https://www.mingw-w64.org/>`__.
1. Fetch the latest source code, including all submodules.
::
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenshell.git
.. warning::
The path where the source code is cloned to can contain spaces but non-ASCII
characters are very likely to cause problems with the build.
2. Start the MSYS2 Shell and then:
::
$ cd IfcOpenShell/win
$ ./build-deps.sh
$ ./run-cmake.sh
$ ./install-ifcopenshell.sh
.. seealso::
For more information on configuring a Windows compilation see the `Windows
