Pype

Introduction

Multi-platform open-source pipeline built around the Avalon platform, expanding it with extra features and integrations. Pype connects asset database, project management and time tracking into a single modular system. It has tight integration with ftrack, but it can also run independently.

Hardware requirements

Pype should be installed centrally on a fast network storage with at least read access right for all workstations and users in the Studio. Full Deplyoyment with all dependencies and both Development and Production branches installed takes about 1GB of data, however to ensure smooth updates and general working comfort, we recommend allocating at least at least 4GB of storage dedicated to PYPE deployment.

For well functioning ftrack event server, we recommend a linux virtual server with Ubuntu or CentosOS. CPU and RAM allocation need differ based on the studio size, but a 2GB of RAM, with a dual core CPU and around 4GB of storage should suffice.

Building Pype

Windows

You will need Python 3.7 and newer and git.

Clone repository:

git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:pypeclub/pype.git

Run PowerShell script build.ps1. It will create venv, install all required dependencies and build Pype. After it is finished, you will find Pype in build folder.

You might need more tools for installing dependencies (for example for OpenTimelineIO) - mostly development tools like CMake and Visual Studio

Pype is build using CX_Freeze to freeze itself and all dependencies.
