|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Panda3D is a game engine, a framework for 3D rendering and game development for
|
|
Python and C++ programs. Panda3D is open-source and free for any purpose,
|
|
including commercial ventures, thanks to its
|
|
[liberal license](https://www.panda3d.org/license.php). To learn more about
|
|
Panda3D's capabilities, visit the [gallery](https://www.panda3d.org/gallery.php)
|
|
and the [feature list](https://www.panda3d.org/features.php). To learn how to
|
|
use Panda3D, check the [documentation](https://www.panda3d.org/documentation.php)

Installing Panda3D
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
By far, the easiest way to install the latest development build of Panda3D
|
|
into an existing Python installation is using the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://archive.panda3d.org/ panda3d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to install the full SDK with all tools, the latest development
|
|
builds can be obtained from this page:
|
|
|
|
https://www.panda3d.org/download.php?sdk&version=devel
|
|
|
|
These are automatically kept up-to-date with the latest GitHub version of Panda.
|
|
|
|
Building Panda3D
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Windows
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
We currently build using the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 compiler. You do not
|
|
need Microsoft Visual Studio to build Panda3D, though - the relevant compilers
|
|
are included as part of the Windows 7.1 SDK.
|
|
|
|
You will also need to have the third-party dependency libraries available for
|
|
the build scripts to use. These are available from one of these two URLs,
|
|
depending on whether you are on a 32-bit or 64-bit system:
|
|
https://www.panda3d.org/download/panda3d-1.9.4/panda3d-1.9.4-tools-win32.zip
|
|
https://www.panda3d.org/download/panda3d-1.9.4/panda3d-1.9.4-tools-win64.zip
|
|
|
|
After acquiring these dependencies, you may simply build Panda3D from the
|
|
command prompt using the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
makepanda\makepanda.bat --everything --installer --no-eigen
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When the build succeeds, it will produce an .exe file that you can use to
|
|
install Panda3D on your system.
|
|
|
|
Note: you may choose to remove --no-eigen and build with Eigen support in
|
|
order to improve runtime performance. However, this will cause the build to
|
|
take hours to complete, as Eigen is a heavily template-based library, and the
|
|
the MSVC compiler does not perform well under these circumstances.
|
|
|
|
Linux
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Building Panda3D on Linux is easy. All you need is to invoke the makepanda
|
|
script using the version of Python that you want Panda3D to be built against.
|
|
|
|
Run makepanda.py with the --help option to see which options are available.
|
|
Usually, you will want to specify the --everything option (which builds with
|
|
support for all features for which it detects the prerequisite dependencies)
|
|
and the --installer option (which produces an installable .deb or .rpm file
|
|
for you to install, depending on your distribution).
|
|
|
|
The following command illustrates how to build Panda3D with some common
|
|
options:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python makepanda/makepanda.py --everything --installer --no-egl --no-gles --no-gles2 --no-opencv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will probably see some warnings saying that it's unable to find several
|
|
dependency packages. You should determine which ones you want to include in
|
|
your build and install the respective development packages. You may visit
|
|
[this manual page](https://www.panda3d.org/manual/index.php/Dependencies)
|
|
for an overview of the various dependencies.
|
|
|
|
If you are on Ubuntu, this command should cover the most frequently
|
|
used third-party packages:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config python-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libtiff-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libx11-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxrandr-dev libxxf86dga-dev libxcursor-dev bison flex libfreetype6-dev libvorbis-dev libeigen3-dev libopenal-dev libode-dev libbullet-dev nvidia-cg-toolkit libgtk2.0-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once Panda3D has built, you can either install the .deb or .rpm package that
|
|
it produced, depending on which Linux distribution you are using. For example,
|
|
to install the package on Debian or Ubuntu, use this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dpkg -i panda3d*.deb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are not using a Linux distribution that supports .deb or .rpm packages, you
|
|
may have to use the installpanda.py script instead, which will directly copy the
|
|
files into the appropriate locations on your computer. You may have to run the
|
|
`ldconfig` tool in order to update your library cache after installing Panda3D.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can add the `--wheel` option, which will produce a .whl
|
|
file that can be installed into a Python installation using `pip`.
|
|
|
|
macOS
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
On macOS, you will need to download a set of precompiled thirdparty packages in order to
|
|
compile Panda3D, which can be acquired from [here](https://www.panda3d.org/download/panda3d-1.9.4/panda3d-1.9.4-tools-mac.tar.gz).
|
|
|
|
After placing the thirdparty directory inside the panda3d source directory,
|
|
you may build Panda3D using a command like the following:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python makepanda/makepanda.py --everything --installer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In order to make a universal build, pass the --universal flag. You may also
|
|
target a specific minimum macOS version using the --osxtarget flag followed
|
|
by the release number, eg. 10.6 or 10.7.
|
|
|
|
If the build was successful, makepanda will have generated a .dmg file in
|
|
the source directory containing the installer. Simply open it and run the
|
|
package file in order to install the SDK onto your system.
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Building on FreeBSD is very similar to building on Linux. You will need to
|
|
install the requisite packages using the system package manager. To install
|
|
the recommended set of dependencies, you can use this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkg install pkgconf png jpeg-turbo tiff freetype2 eigen squish openal opusfile libvorbis libX11 libGL ode bullet assimp openexr
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will also need to choose which version of Python you want to use.
|
|
Install the appropriate package for it (such as `python2` or `python36`) and
|
|
run the makepanda script with your chosen Python version:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3.6 makepanda/makepanda.py --everything --installer --no-egl --no-gles --no-gles2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If successful, this will produce a .pkg file in the root of the source
|
|
directory which you can install using `pkg install`.
|
|
