How to develop Compute on your Windows 10 computer.

  1. Download and install Rhino 7.

  2. Start Rhino at least once to configure its license.

  3. Clone the compute.rhino3d repository from GitHub.

  4. Open src\compute.sln in Visual Studio 2019 and compile as Debug.

  5. Make sure that compute.geometry is set as the startup project.

  6. Start the application in the debugger.

  7. Wait for Compute to load… ☕️

    compute.geometry.exe

  8. Browse to http://localhost:8081/version to check that it’s working!
