Beginner (easy)- Test NodeBox in command line

Hi,

I installed Nodebox in my server Apache CentOs6
I installed it in usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
I didt get any error duriing the installation

Here is what I get when I type :
from nodebox.graphics import *

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named nodebox.graphics

What should I do ?
Thanks a lot for your help
Regards
Daniel

Hi,

• NodeBox 3 is a Java application that you can install, but it won't work as-is from the command line.
• NodeBox 1 is a Mac-only application
• You might have some success with NodeBox / OpenGL, but it doesn't do offline rendering.

Can I ask, what is your use case? Do you want to generate images on the server?

Best,

Frederik

Hi, thanks for your anser.

Yes I would like to use NodeBox to generate images on the server.
So assuming I have Linux, what should I do please ?

Yes its for generate images on the servr
What should I do ?

Well, there is no version of NodeBox that can just generate images as-is on the server. NodeBox 1 only works on Mac, NodeBox 3 is a graphical application and NodeBox/OpenGL does work on Linux, but only on the desktop.

The issue is that NodeBox doesn't have a rendering backend supported on Linux (such as Cairo or Skia). Adding support for this would solve your issue, but it's something that's not planned for now.

Thank you for your anser
