# Manual Installation
If you'd like to try installing on a different platform or for a different version, you can do a manual installation. Note that the connector has not been tested on older versions or on different platforms. There may be issues, so feel free to report them on the forum.
# 1. Clone the Repository
First, ensure you have git (opens new window) installed.
Run the following command in your terminal to clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/specklesystems/speckle-sketchup
This will create a speckle-sketchup
folder with the connector files wherever you run this command.
# 2. Build the User Interface
Navigate into the ui/
folder
cd speckle-sketchup/ui
Then run the following commands:
npm install
npm run build
2
This will create a html
folder inside the speckle-sketchup/speckle_connector
folder.
# 3. Add the Connector to SketchUp
Find the Plugins
folder for your SketchUp installation. On Windows for SketchUp, the folder will be at:
C:\Users\{YOU}\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\`{SketchUp_VERSION}\SketchUp\Plugins
Once you've found the equivalent for your OS / SketchUp version, copy the speckle_connector
folder and the speckle_connector.rb
file into the Plugins
folder.
