Quickstart

Start by cloning solid-seed, which has a starting code for any project.

$ git clone https://github.com/LibreSolid/solid-seed.git myproject

Then create a virtual environment for your project

$ cd myproject
$ virtualenv --python=python3 myproject-env
$ source myproject-env/bin/activate

And install solid-node in your environment

$ pip install solid-node

Make sure you have openscad installed

$ sudo apt-get install openscad

Start the solid process. By default, the web viewer is used.

$ solid root develop

Open the link http://localhost:8000 in your browser. If you prefer using Openscad as a viewer, use the –openscad parameter

$ solid root develop --openscad

Open root/__init__.py file in your prefered code editor and see your model update in the viewer as you modify the code.

Check the _build directory for the STLs of your project.
