Trouble in downloading the Geomerative library — Processing

Hello,

I’m new to Processing, and I have to use the Geomerative library for a project using SVG and a plotter. However, I can’t find the Geomerative library in the “add libraries” window of Processing. I also tried to add it by downloading the Geomerative Github folder and putting it manually into the library folder of the Processing sketchbook, but it still won’t work…

Do you have any idea on how I could add it?
Thanks! :slight_smile:

Hello @halleyscomet and welcome to the forum!

Geomerative hasn’t been actively maintained for a while, and the original download link from its website is broken. That’s why it’s no longer available in the Contribution Manager.

However, you can still install it manually. The library is available on GitHub at rikrd/geomerative.

Inside the repository, go to geomerative/distribution/geomerative.zip.
Download and extract that .zip file, then place the extracted geomerative folder inside your Processing/libraries folder, then restart Processing.

I have tested the above in Processing 4.4.3 and the examples run fine.

Let me know if you need help getting it set up!

Edit: I created an issue on the Geomerative repo about this.

Feel free to post your plotter work in the gallery category once you’re done!
