During Pollination installation this jumped out, I clicked Retry, the engine said installation successful but there’s nothing found in
C:\Users<ins>dsung\pollination\plugins\
C:\Users\dsung>C:\Users\dsung\pollination\python\python.exe C:\Users\dsung\pollination\python\setupPlugin.py install
Is install: True
But still nowhere to be found on GH ribbon, and there’s nothing under C:\Users\dsung\pollination\plugins
if there’s where the .gha files supposed to be?
Could you check if C:\Program Files\Rhino 6\System\yak.exe exist on your system?
If yes, could you try to replace this new setupPlugin.py with the one in your pollination\python folder, and run following command again? setupPlugin.zip (1.7 KB)
Thanks for trying, but I followed through and it is still not installed.
I have yak.exe in both \Rhino 6\ and \Rhino 7\ folders, I used the new setupPlugin.py and ran the command, it says “Is install: True” again but I still don’t have it and the \pollination\ folder is not created under \McNeel\Rhinoceros\packages\ either.
Could you try type %Appdata% in your file explorer to see if it jumps to C:\Users\dsung\AppData\Roaming automatically? If not, then I think you have changed some Windows’ system variables. I just Googled and here is a post for how to fix it (note: I have not tested, but it should work)
Now I think this is something related to the Python. @mostapha do you have any idea that why os.environ[‘APPDATA’] doesn’t work on @song-dee’s machine while %appdata% is a valid environment variable?
Could this be folder naming issues too? My folders are actually named Rhinoceros instead of Rhino But I dare not change the folder names this time in case of other plug-ins are referencing here. Is it something in the .py can change? Many thanks
Ok, this is the real issue here. I don’t know how you get following paths which are not the path that Rhino documented.
Let’s forget everything now, and here is the updated setupPlugin file that works with your Rhino paths. Please do following steps:
Download and unzip setupPlugin.zip (1.7 KB), and use new setupPlugin.py to replace C:\Users\dsung\pollination\python\setupPlugin.py
Remove both plugin and plugins folders under C:\Users\dsung\pollination\ if any.
Download plugin.zip (1.0 MB) and unzip all files to C:\Users\dsung\pollination\plugin. (note: make sure to unblock the zip file before unzipping)
This is what it should look like in your C:\Users\dsung\pollination\plugin
Hi @mostapha, @mingbo, I think I’m having a similar issue with installation. For me the installer runs fully and successfully but when I open GH Pollination doesn’t appear in the GH ribbon.
I’ve tried the steps above (not including Mingbo’s step with the new .zip files) and everything appears to be set up correctly.
Adding a little more context - when I run Command Prompt from search it default opens to H:. To get around this and test the steps above I opened C drive in file explorer and typed cmd into the top bar
