Sirsasana

Sirsasana is a playful, welcoming 30 foot tall installation of a tree-like sculpture doing a headstand. Its tree roots reach for the sky, and its trunk is composed of interwoven wooden arcs based on the golden ratio that form a hyperboloid. Interactive lighting and soundscape brings the tree to life at night to display the pulsing, breathing flow of life force from roots to leaves as one would experience doing a headstand.

9. Clone the project Github Directory to a local directory: https://github.com/tracyscott/Sirsasana/

Install Maven Depenencies

10. In Command Prompt, get to the directory of Sirsasana Github project and run the below mvn install commands (or run mvn_installs.sh, by running sh mvn_installs.sh):

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=lib/lx-0.4.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar -DgroupId=heronarts -DartifactId=lx -Dversion=0.4.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies -Dpackaging=jar
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=lib/p4lx-0.4.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -DgroupId=heronarts -DartifactId=p4lx -Dversion=0.4.1-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=lib/lxstudio-0.4.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -DgroupId=heronarts -DartifactId=lxstudio -Dversion=0.4.1-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=classpath/core-4.0b8.jar -DgroupId=org.processing -DartifactId=core -Dversion=4.0b8 -Dpackaging=jar
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=classpath/jogl-all-4.0b8.jar -DgroupId=org.jogamp -DartifactId=jogl-all -Dversion=4.0b8 -Dpackaging=jar
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=classpath/gluegen-rt-4.0b8.jar -DgroupId=org.jogamp -DartifactId=gluegen-rt -Dversion=4.0b8 -Dpackaging=jar
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=lib/firmata4j-2.3.8-SNAPSHOT.jar -DgroupId=com.github.kurbatov -DartifactId=firmata4j -Dversion=2.3.8-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar

Link Libraries

11. Processing 4 and JOGL have some native library issues. We need to explicitly pass -Djava.library.path=build/library when running our executable where build/library is symlinked to the appropriate classpath/architecture directory
12. mkdir build && cd build
13. Mac OS M1: ln -hsf ../classpath/macos-aarch64 library
14. Mac OS Intel: ln -hsf ../classpath/macos-x86_64/ library
15. If on windows, mklink /d library ..\classpath\windows-amd64

Build and run

23. Build package: mvn package
24. To run from the command line: java -Djava.library.path=build/library -jar target/sirsasana-0.4.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Setup in IntelliJ:

25. Create a new project in IntelliJ using the pom.xml file in the project directory
26. In the newly created IntelliJ project create a maven RUN config file enter compile exec:java -Djava.library.path=/Absolute/path/Sirsasana/build/library -Dexec.mainClass=art.lookingup.sirsasana.SirsasanaApp in Commannd Line field (needs to be tested for new native library issues)
27. Add an IntelliJ run configuration for generating the maven package. Create another Maven configuration and for the command just enter 'package'.
28. Add an IntelliJ run configuration for running the application jar. Replace any referenced absolute path here with the equivalent on your system. Make sure to have a top-level element selected on the left and then click on '+'. Choose Jar Application. Select the target/sirsasana-0.4.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar as the application jar. For VM options enter: -Djava.library.path=/Users/tracyscott/Documents/GitHub/Sirsasana/build/library

Tips

1. If you had previously used a different JDK with IntelliJ, remeber to pick JDK 17 while import the project using POM file
2. In Windows if you cannot move files from Sirsasana\classpath\windows-amd64 to C:\Users\mister_kanth\Documents\Sirsasana\build\library using command prompt then do it manually using file explorer
