First steps

First of all, we need to install anaconda (conda).

After downloaded the anaconda install script, run it with bash (remember to run it without sudo).

⚠️ It isn't advisable to run conda scripts with sudo.

Just follow the installer steps and finish the install.

Once downloaded and installed, create an environment with python 3.7.

• # conda create -n open3d-1 python=3.7 anaconda

Then, activate your recently created environment, running: # source activate open3d-1

Installing Jupyter Notebook

As our IDE, we're going to use the Jupyter Notebook. We are going to use conda for installing jupyter notebook: conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab

Once installed, launch JupyterLab with: jupyter-lab

With Jupyter installed, we need to enable our environment to Jupyter Notebook. To do so, we're going to execute:

• pip install --user ipykernel
• python -m ipykernel install --user --name=open3d-1
