Pip install path-to-the-whl-file-that-you-downloaded Install the wheel (.whl) file as follows from the command prompt: [Update:The installers at the above link seems to have changed since the time this instruction was posted. If you're running Windows then you need to download PyOpenGL installer from: Once Anaconda is installed on your Mac/Linux, you can open a terminal and install PyOpenGL as follows: Use the following instructions to install it. It'll install all the required packages except for PyOpenGL. (PythonXY also works well but it's only available for windowsĪnd may require uninstalling existing python installation.)Īnaconda python 2.7 can be downloaded from. We found anaconda to work smoothly on most platforms and so this is the recommended distribution for doing the assignments. There are three major python distributions: PythonXY (windows only),Īnaconda (win/linux/mac), and Enthought Canopy (win/linux/mac). If pip doesn't exist on your system then it can be installed by following Windows: For installing PyOpenGL (including GLUT) on Windows see note in the following section.

Linux/Mac: Install GLUT in case it's not already installed (Mac OS may already have it installed). Is to install using pip from the terminal. If there's an existing python 2.7 (you might try this with python 3 but that combination hasn't been tested) installation but no PyOpenGL (and NumPy, SciPy) then the easiest option However, it's recommended (to save time and headache) that you install a distribution of python along with PyOpenGL by following the Python Distribution section. Then look at the Minimal Installation section.

If you already have python 2.7 installed and just want to do a minimal installation There are two options for setting up your machine for the assignments. Once you've installed all the necessary components be sure to check your installation using this sample code.

The starter code or your implementation, you might first try it on the SOCS machine (instructions for remote testing is at the end). Note that the SOCS lab machines in Trottier already have these installed.

It'd also be good to have NumPy and SciPy installed. For the assignments we'll be using Python 2.7 along with PyOpenGL 3x.
