Rhino 7 8 has a new a packagemanager command to easily install plugins.

This works for the following plugins:

  • Caribou (Elk)

  • Crane

  • Dragonfly3D

  • Heron

  • Human

  • Keyshot

  • Lumion Livesync

  • Lunchbox

  • Ngon

  • PanelingTools

  • Parakeet

  • SectionTools

  • treeFrog

  • Vectorize

  • Weaverbird

It does not work for these plugins (these should already be available, as we installed them using alternate methods under Rhino 6 or Rhino 7see this page for how to install many of them):

  • Hoopsnake

    Kangaroo

  • Ladybug + Honeybee

  • Octopus

  • Rabbit

Using Package Manager

  1. Start Rhino

...

  1. 8 and enter packagemanager on the command line.

  2. In the Package Manager search box, search for a plugin, such as Weaverbird.

...

  1. Image Added

  2. Click Install and then OK.

  3. Restart Rhino before using the plugin.

  4. Most plugins will appear on the Rhino or Grasshopper menu.

Common Issues

  • If you don't see a plugin available in Package Manager, we may already have installed it using alternate methods. Check the menus under Grasshopper. Also check Rhino 6, as it may be installed there. 

  • The Package Manager does not exist for Rhino 6.
