How do I get the LB Samples component when updating with the LB Versioner

Hi @chris,

I’ve just updated my installation with the LB Versioner component, and I failed to find the LB Samples component:

So I uninstalled everything and did the step by step install again manually, same result – no samples component for me.

Your screen capture shows it under the 4 :: Extra tab, the documentation is listing it for 5 :: Version. I can’t find it anywhere:

I’m on my Mac (M1 Max MBP), I guess it could be reason to it?

The new LB Samples component lives in the Ladybug.Grasshopper.gha file inside the ladybug_grasshopper_dotnet folder where your components are installed:

.gha files cannot be deleted or overwritten while Rhino is open. So there is no way to delete it when running the LB Versioner. So, if you want the new component, you have to delete that .gha file manually while Rhino is closed. Then, open up Rhino and run the Versioner. The next time that you open Grasshopper, you will have the updated .gha and the LB Samples component.

Or you could just install everything with the Pollination single-click installer inf you are on Windows. The single-click installer takes care of all this for you.
