Re: [Arches] Django not installed message

[Roshan Bhurtha]

*An update on this:*

 It seems that there is a hiccup with the command "pip install arches 
--no-binary :all:"

But if I run this command

*pip install arches==4.0b3 --no-binary :all:*

django is installed !

I am not sure why the default version of Arches will not pull the 
dependancies.

Roshan

[Arches] Re: Is Arches suitable for this project ?

[Roshan Bhurtha]

Hi Vincent. Thanks for taking the time to write a detailed answer. It's 
much appreciated.

Regarding the display of 3D models, I am familiar with 3D-HOP and have been 
using it for to display all our 3D models for a while now. Heva  look at 
our website when you can: 
http://www.zamaniproject.org/index.php/3d-model-viewer.html

Thanks a lot for the ideas regarding the documentation of the laser scans. 
It's also good to know that we can import our Dublin Core metadata in 
Arches. This will help a lot.

I will use Arches  V4, definitely. I will start by understanding and 
creating the resource file model, as you suggest. thanks!

Thanks again for your answers and will keep in touch.
regards
Roshan
