Installation

Requirements

Supported operating systems:

• Ubuntu 20.04

• Ubuntu 22.04

Dependency	Version	Note
CMake	>= 3.14
GCC	>= 9.4	C++17 is required
Eigen	>= 3.3
Python	>= 3.8	Tests are run for 3.8, 3.10, and 3.12

All dependencies can be installed using:

apt install build-essential cmake libeigen3-dev python3 python3-dev python3-pip

See docker/motion3d.dockerfile for further installation details, e.g., for packages required for development.

C++

After all requirements are available, use CMake and Make to install the library headers:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make install

For uninstalling use make uninstall.

Python

The library can be installed either over PyPI using pip:

python3 -m pip install motion3d

or directly from within the cloned repository:

python3 -m pip install .

If Eigen is not found on the system, the setup downloads a suitable version locally before building the package.
