How to Download and Install Meshroom on Mac
Meshroom is a free and open source 3D reconstruction software that can turn your photos into realistic 3D models. Meshroom is based on the AliceVision framework, which uses advanced computer vision algorithms to process images and generate 3D data. Meshroom is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface that allows you to create stunning 3D scenes with just a few clicks.
However, Meshroom is not officially supported on Mac OS X, as it requires a NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPU to run the most important part of the pipeline: the Multi-View Stereo (MVS) reconstruction. Most Macs do not have NVIDIA GPUs, and even if they do, they may not be compatible with the latest CUDA toolkit. Therefore, downloading and installing Meshroom on Mac is not straightforward and may require some extra steps and workarounds.
In this article, we will show you how to download and install Meshroom on Mac using two different methods: using Homebrew or using Docker. Both methods have their pros and cons, so you can choose the one that suits you best. Before we start, make sure you have the following requirements:
A Mac with an NVIDIA GPU that supports CUDA compute capability 2.0 or higher. You can check your GPU model and compute capability on NVIDIA CUDA GPUs page.
The latest CUDA toolkit installed on your Mac. As of this writing, that's CUDA 10.1, which is only officially compatible with OS X 10.13 (High Sierra). You can download it from NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit Archive.
The latest NVIDIA CUDA GPU driver installed on your Mac. As of this writing, that's 387.10.10.10.40.118. You can download it from NVIDIA Driver Downloads.
The Command Line Tools for Xcode 10.1 installed on your Mac. CUDA 10.1 is only compatible with the version of clang distributed with Xcode 10.1, and will refuse to compile against anything else. You can download it from Apple Developer Downloads (you'll need a free Apple developer account).
A working Homebrew or Docker installation on your Mac.
Once you have all the requirements, you can proceed with one of the following methods:
Method 1: Using Homebrew
Homebrew is a popular package manager for Mac that allows you to install various software and libraries with ease. Homebrew has a tap for AliceVision and Meshroom that contains the necessary formulae to compile and install them on your Mac.
To use this method, follow these steps:
Open a terminal window and run the following command to add the AliceVision tap to Homebrew:brew tap alicevision/alicevision
Run the following command to install Meshroom and its dependencies:brew install meshroom
Wait for the installation to complete. This may take some time as Homebrew will download and compile several packages.
Once the installation is done, you can launch Meshroom by running:/usr/local/opt/meshroom/Meshroom
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Meshroom on your Mac using Homebrew.
Method 2: Using Docker
Docker is a platform that allows you to run applications in isolated containers that share the same operating system kernel. Docker can be used to run Meshroom on Mac without having to compile anything or install any dependencies.
To use this method, follow these steps:
Download and install Docker Desktop for Mac from Docker website.
