Installation and usage

[theevl]

This is a great looking project.
I think I have performed the install as instructed.

I have completed the pytest, and I think all steps succeeded. It tested 48 items and all 48 passed.

I am now trying to run the demo sample but I am getting a command not found:

(base) theevl@theevl-desktop:/Desktop/plycutter-master$ plycutter -o foo.dxf --thickness 6 ./tests/data/PlyTest0.1.stl
plycutter: command not found
(base) theevl@theevl-desktop:/Desktop/plycutter-master$

I cannot see a file called "plycutter.py", so I do not know what do to next.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
thanks

You need to run python setup.py install to install the cli program into your virtualenv. I think that step was missing from the install guide.

I recommend installing it using pipx, once you have pipx installed you can easily install plycutter into it's own virtualenv using pipx install git+https://github.com/tjltjl/plycutter.git.

Thanks a lot
I installed pipx and then installed plycutter (with pipx), and it worked right away.
this is great.

Kippos!

Thanks!

Today ran into the same omission from the docs, fixing now
