Ladybug tool in Linux

nkunwar · April 15, 2021, 10:53pm

Hi,

Does anybody know if the ladybug tool can be used in Linux? Currently, I am aware that it can be used as toolset within grasshopper in Rhino. Rhino doesn’t seem to be supported on Linux. So is there any workaround to use it on Linux?

Thanks,
Niraj

@minggangyin Thank you for your suggestion.I tried looking at Github where it says, “Ladybug is a Python library to load, analyze and modify EnergyPlus Weather files (epw). You can download epw files from EPWMap.” Do you know if the python version used for daylight analysis?

If you know the python based tool that could be used for daylight simulation , could you please provide me the name or link to the tool?

Thanks,
Niraj

You should use lbt-recipes for that. See here:

You can execute the recipes using the run command: main — lbt-recipes documentation

The components’ source code should help you with an example. Also check the unittests in the repository.

github.com

ladybug-tools/lbt-recipes/blob/master/tests/recipes_test.py

from click.testing import CliRunner
import os
import shutil

from ladybug.futil import nukedir
from honeybee_radiance.config import folders as rad_folders
from queenbee_local.cli import run_recipe

# radiance environment variables so that everyone can run locally
genv = {}
genv['PATH'] = rad_folders.radbin_path
genv['RAYPATH'] = rad_folders.radlib_path
env_args = []
for k, v in genv.items():
    env_args.append('--env')
    env_args.append('{}="{}"'.format(k, v))


def run_daylight_recipe(recipe_name, extension):
    project_folder = './tests/assets/project folder'
