PotreeAPI demonstrator

About

A small demonstrator proving the ability to communicate between some C++ code and a slightly modified version of Potree.

Getting Started

Cloning this repository

⚠️ You have to use the --recursive option to ensure that the whole repository is being cloned, because it contains a submodule (a nested repository):

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Stakhan/PotreeAPI_demonstrator

Dependencies

Make sure you have qt5 installed with the websockets and webengine modules.

On Ubuntu 20.04 / Debian 10:

  • qt5-default
  • libqt5websockets5-dev
  • qtwebengine5-dev

On Manjaro Linux:

  • qt5-base
  • qt5-websockets
  • qt5-webengine

Compiling

In the project folder, in a shell:

qmake
make

Running

  1. Make sure the slightly modified version of Potree has been installed.

To install it, go to the potree folder and launch:

npm install
  1. Make sure Potree is running on http://localhost:1234. The latter can easily be done by using npm in the potree folder:
npm start

Or by launching any static http server one-liner on port 1234.

  1. You should then be able to run the binary file called demo.
