Installation

Windows executable

For Windows, we offer an executable, and there’s a Visual Studio project code in the folder vs_build, although installing the dependencies is slightly more complex than for macOS/Linux.

macOS & Linux: you need to compile

The details to compile and use val3dity are on GitHub.

Web-application

If you don’t want to go through the troubles of compiling and/or installing val3dity, we suggest you use the web application. Simply upload your file to our server and get a validation report back. We delete the file as soon as it has been validated. However, a file is limited to 50MB.

Using val3dity as a library

val3dity can be compiled and used as a library, see the instructions.

Also, there is a simple example of how to use it in ./demo_lib with instructions to compile it.

Python bindings

It is possible to use val3dity with Python, see val3ditypy.
