How to Install Radiance, Daysim, Ladybug and Honeybee

This video shows how you can download and install RADIANCE, Daysim, Ladybug and Honeybee.
I forgot to mention two things in the video. 1. if you don't install Radiance at C:\Radiance then you need to add the path to the system. Check this page: (openstudio.nre.... 2. You need to also install GHPython component.

Hi Mostapha, I have the same issue as Pablo said a Grasshopper breakpoint saying "The User Object could not be created as the base type is missing." , although I delete it & installed all of them again "C:\Daysim", "C:\Radiance" & LBHB also?

hi mostapha when i let honeybee free to fly i get this ( There is a white space in RADIANCE file path: C:\Program Files\Radiance\bin Please install RADIANCE in a valid address (e.g. c: adiance)) >>>> how to solve this problem

I'm just trying to open and view a .oct file, will this let me open it and convert it?

[@AhmedJendeya]

its 2018 now .. when I have installed the Ladybug latest version .. I have no error .. I followed this video to install Radiance. I have a feeling that Radiance components are already added to the latest versions .. am I correct? In this case, I followed the old way to install Radiance and Daysim. The question, what components have to be added or what is the changes done to grasshopper that let me know that Radiance is successfully installed?

[@MostaphaSadeghipour]

Honeybee does look for Radiance installation when you drop Honeybee_honeybee component on the canvas. If the installation is not done correctly it will give you an error message.

Hi Mostapha, I've gone through the entire installation procedure, Radiance, Daysim, LB , HB and GHPython, but when I attempt to set the Ladybug free to fly, I get a GH Breakpoint window stating "The User Object could not be created as the base type is missing." I manually deleted the User objects in LB and HB and reinstalled them. But I get the same result. Panels pop up with "7d860002-48a3-4064-b3b2-0878562576f6" Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Pablo, there are two steps that I am missing in the video and one is to install GHPython which seems to be the problem. If you have GHPython installed then you probably need to unblock the .gha file. There are multiple discussions about this on the group including this one: www.grasshopper3d.com/group/ladybug/forum/topics/problem-with-construct-location?commentId=2985220%3AComment%3A1031484&groupId=2985220%3AGroup%3A658987

[@pablocaillet-bois8010]

Ok Thanks. I'll give that a try.

[@pablocaillet-bois8010]

hello Mostapha, i am trying to install radiance 4.2 but my attempts failed :( i have tried to access the the link you provided (openstudio.nrel.gov/getting-started-developer/getting-started-radiance) but it tool me to (www.openstudio.net/)

[@MostaphaSadeghipour]

Ikrima amaireh they moved Radiance to github. You can find it here: github.com/NREL/Radiance/releases

[@ikrimaamaireh6273]

Mostapha Sadeghipour thansk Mustafa. another question please! is there any difference between Radiance4.2 direct installing using [radiance-4.2-win32.exe] from (github.com/NREL/Radiance/releases) and its installing through source code compiling using [rad4R2all.tar.gz] from (www.radiance-online.org/download-install/installation-information/latest-release-4.2). the first is just about 6.8MB while the later is large as 182MB. best regards, ikrima
