The Source Distribution (sdist) repository for the FBXSDK Python Bindings
The Source Distribution (sdist) repository for the FBXSDK Python Bindings
**Packages for the Source Distribution and wheels (prebuilt binaries) can be installed with pip (see Install)**
**A source packages can be built and installed with pip (see Install)**
## Install
## Install
1. Obtain a [Gitlab Token](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html#creating-a-personal-access-token) to authenticate to the project pypi repository
2. Run the following command, with `<Gitlab Token>` replaced with your personal token :
If there is no wheel available for your platform, pip will attempt to build from source
This will download the sources from Autodesk website, build them, and install the built package
To force an install from source, pass the `--no-binary fbxsdkpy` option to pip

Alternatively, the bindings can be built and installed by cloning this repository and running `pip --verbose install .`
Alternatively, the bindings can be built and installed by cloning this repository and running `pip --verbose install .`
### Remarks
## Troubleshooting
- Instead of the libraries and bindings from Autodesk being included in the repository, they are downloaded before building
-`--verbose` is recommended to get the output of the compiler in case of an error. Also, as compilation can take several minutes, `pip` might otherwise seem unresponsive

- On outdated Windows versions, curl is not available, in this case install it from [https://curl.se/](https://curl.se/)
- On Windows, Build Tools are required for compiling, and C++ Redistributables for runtime, they are available individually on Microsoft's website, or with Visual Studio
- On Windows, the installers from Autodesk trigger Permission Requests, if left unanswered they will timeout, the installation will continue without the required files and quietly fail. A solution to run the installation unattended is to do it from an Administrator command line
