WARNING: the lastest updates of conda packages are no more compatible with this binary (and older ones): If you have a working conda environment for a recent CloudComPy binary, keep it! In case of problems look at the conda list and compare it with the output of conda list command in the conda CloudCompy39 environment. Major version changes may induce problems.

If you need to create or recreate the CloudCompy39 conda environment please use the following (warning: commands are slightly different between Linux and Windows):

conda update -y -n base -c defaults conda
conda activate
conda create -y --name CloudComPy39 python=3.9
   # --- erase previous env if existing
conda activate CloudComPy39
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict
conda install -y "boost=1.72" "cgal=5.0" cmake "ffmpeg=4.3" "gdal=3.3" "jupyterlab=3.2" "matplotlib=3.5" "mysql=8.0" "numpy=1.22" "opencv=4.5" "openmp=8.0" "pcl=1.11" "pdal=2.3" "psutil=5.9" "qt=5.12" "scipy=1.8" "sphinx_rtd_theme=1.0" "spyder=5.2" "tbb=2021.5" "tbb-devel=2021.5" "xerces-c=3.2"
