Using Honeybee Legacy and Honeybee 1.3 at the same time - Open Studio version

Hello,

I have Open studio 3.0.1 installed to work with Legacy and Open studio 3.2 to work with Honeybee1.3.
However, I can’t seem to run any energy script for the Honeybee Legacy and I get an error because the Legacy only reads the Open studio 3.2 installation on my PC.

How can I make the legacy work with the 3.01 without uninstalling the 3.2 version?
I need to work on both Honeybee versions.

A setup that works for me was to install the older version of OpenStudio (2.9.1 in my case) directly to the C:// drive and the compatible version to LBT in the C://Users/[USERNAME]/ladybug_tools folder.

But curious to know what others do, or if there’s a proper way I’m missing.

Hi,
I created a folder called “openstudio” inside lbt folder because OS doesn´t create one if it is not directly installed in C.

I just wanted to add that if you want to run both versions: lbt and legacy you must keep the 2 versions of OS separately

Yes, I installed the 3.0.1 in C:/ and the 3.2 in the Ladybug tools folder, they are both working fine now.
Thank you!
