Im installing panda3d to Sparky linux 5.0

Installation
1

I use a debian based Sparky Linux.

Is there a preferred python version for Panda3d? Or are there any other little things I need to know to improve my usability of Panda3d?

Now the installation can be done in python using the pip command example python3: python3 -m pip install --extra-index-url https://archive.panda3d.org/ panda3d

And you will get the necessary version for your python. Of course the choice of python is yours.

The 1.10.0 version is already up on PyPI as of yesterday, so you can shorten that to this:

python3 -m pip install panda3d

You can run that with any Python version you’d like to use. Of course, if you can, I’d recommend the latest, or whatever version of Python 3 is shipped with your distribution.

does that include all the samples?

Nope, but you can download them separately from here:

And the samples for Bullet Physics here:

Or by checking them out from the GitHub reposiotry:

Thanks! They will be helpful to me.

All the samples seem to run flawlessly!

Now I am going to start working thru the tutorials again.
