5 Favorite Node.js 3D Libraries

In today's post we will learn about 5 Favorite Node.js 3D Libraries.

D3 (or D3.js) is a JavaScript library for visualizing data using web standards. D3 helps you bring data to life using SVG, Canvas and HTML. D3 combines powerful visualization and interaction techniques with a data-driven approach to DOM manipulation, giving you the full capabilities of modern browsers and the freedom to design the right visual interface for your data.

1 - Math3d

Vectors, Quaternions, Matrices and Transforms for 3D graphics in Node.js

Installation

With npm:

npm install math3d

API

About Classes

All classes except Transform provide immutable objects.

Coordinate System

As I used this project later on with Unity3D, I tried to keep everything as similar as possible. The coordinate system is the same as in Unity: y-Axis up, x-Axis right, z-Axis forward. The rotation order for Euler angles (used in Quaternion) is z then x then y.

Vector3

A three-dimensional vector with x, y, z values; used for positions, directions or scales in 3D space.

var Vector3 = math3d.Vector3;

var v1 = new Vector3(42, 42, 42);
v1.add(Vector3.up); // Vector3(42, 43, 42);

installr: Functions for Installing Softwares From within R

installr

Introduction

The installr package offers a set of R functions for the installation and updating of software (currently, only on Windows OS), with a special focus on R itself. This package has two main goals:

To make updating R (on windows) as easy as running a function.
To make it as easy as possible to install all of the needed software for R development (such as git, RTools, etc), as well as for reproducible research using R (such as MikTeX, pandoc, etc).

Motivation

While for Linux users, the installation process of new software may be just running a short line of code, for the regular Windows user it often includes browsing online, finding the latest version, downloading it, running the installer, and deleting the installation file. All of these steps are automatically done using functions in this package.

Installation

To install the stable version on CRAN:

install.packages('installr')

To install the latest installr version from GitHub use:

if (!require('remotes')) install.packages('remotes'); # make sure you have Rtools installed first! if not, then run:
#install.packages('installr')
#install.Rtools()
remotes::install_github('talgalili/installr')

Usage

If you are using the Rgui, you will see a new menu added on your top right (just by "help"), giving you the option to update R, or install new software.

For command line use you can update R by running:

if(!require("installr")) install.packages('installr')
library("installr")
updateR() # this will open dialog boxes to take you through the steps.
# OR use:
# updateR(TRUE) # this will use common defaults and will be the safest/fastest option

Or install a new software simply by running:

library("installr")
installr() #  user can easily select (via a GUI interface) a software to install.

Troubleshooting

If you get either of the following errors from some commands:

Error in download.file(URL, destfile = ...) : 
  unsupported URL scheme

Or:

install.RStudio()
Error in file(con, "r") : cannot open the connection
updateR()
Error in file(con, "r") : cannot open the connection

Try running:

setInternet2(TRUE)

Normally we install apache on Ubuntu using the command,

sudo apt-get install apache2

This will install the latest version of apache server in our ubuntu system along with the default settings.

The main use of compiling and installing apache from source code is we can use the custom settings in it and also it helps in installing two apache web server in 1 machine.

Installing the dependencies

So moving on to the installation we need to install some dependencies first.

Installing each and every dependencies individually may take some time so for doing them all in once lets write a script named prereq.sh.

#!/bin/bash

#installing the required things for compiling cource code od apache

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y \

build-essential \

binutils \

libpcre3-dev \

libssl-dev \

zlibc \

zlib1g-dev \

libexpat1-dev \

ssl-cert \

libxml2-dev \

libyajl-dev \

The dependencies here are useful for;so this will install all the essential dependencies.

Moving on to next part

Downloading the source code

For recompiling an Ubuntu package from source, their package manager would be placed in the /usr/src/{pkg}.

Create a folder in /usr/src/ with a name apache.

sudo mkdir -p /usr/src/apache

Then head to this direction.

cd /usr/src/apache

Download the latest version of source code and apr and apr-util
These are available at

https://httpd.apache.org https://apr.apache.org wget https://dlcdn.apache.org//httpd/httpd-2.4.51.tar.gz wget https://dlcdn.apache.org//apr/apr-1.7.0.tar.gz wget https://dlcdn.apache.org//apr/apr-util-1.6.1.tar.gz

Note: Kindly check with the website for the latest versions.

Now for ease lets make the above mentioned steps as a script and execute it so that all of them will be executed automatically in one click.

#!/bin/bash

#script for downloading the necessary files for httpd

#make sure the code will be downloaded to /usr/src/apache

sudo

mkdir

-p /usr/src/apache

cd

/usr/src/apache

#download the latest version of source code and apr and apr-util

#available at

#https://httpd.apache.org

#https://apr.apache.org

wget https://dlcdn.apache.org//httpd/httpd-2.4.51.tar.gz

wget https://dlcdn.apache.org//apr/apr-1.7.0.tar.gz

wget https://dlcdn.apache.org//apr/apr-util-1.6.1.tar.gz

On successful completion of the script head to the location and check the files are downloaded or not.

Extracting, Compiling and installing

Head to the above mentioned location /usr/src/apache and extract the files.

Then head to the extracted files location

and Run the command

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apr/

The configure script will make it ready to be compiled.

Then run these two commands which will compile and install the compiled source code.

Follow the same for APR(Apache portable runtime project) and APR-UTIL.

visit: https://apr.apache.org/ for more

Make a script based on this and run the script which will configure, Compile and install APR and APR-UTIL

#!/bin/bash

#compile APR and APR-UTILS

#confirm version first

APR="apr-1.7.0"

APRUTIL="1.6.1"

#APR

cd

/usr/src/apache

tar

-xzvf apr-1.7.0.tar.gz

cd

apr-1.7.0

./configure

--prefix=/usr/local/apr/

make

sudo

make

install

#APR_UTIL

cd

/usr/src/apache

tar

-xzvf apr-util-1.6.1.tar.gz

cd

apr-util-1.6.1

./configure

--prefix=/usr/local/apr/

--with-apr=/usr/local/apr/

make

sudo

make

install

And another script containing commands to compile configure and build apache from source

#!/bin/bash

#compile apache httpd

cd

/usr/src/apache

mv

httpd-2.4.51.tar.gz httpd.tar.gz

tar

-xzvf httpd.tar.gz

cd

httpd

./configure

--prefix=/usr/local/httpd

--with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config

--with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config

--enable-mpms-shared=all \

--enable-nonportable-atomics=yes

make

sudo

make

install

sudo

ln

-s /usr/local/httpd/apache

The last line creates a symbolic link for apache.

To start Apache manually use the command /usr/local/httpd/bin/apachectl -k start

And for confirming the installation is succesfull or not use the command.

curl -v localhost

Or load your Server ip in the browser.

Thus we successfully installed apache from source code.
