fresnel binaries are available in the glotzerlab-software Docker/Singularity images and in packages on conda-forge

Singularity / Docker images

See the glotzerlab-software documentation for instructions to install and use the containers on supported HPC clusters.

Conda package

fresnel is available on conda-forge on the linux-64, osx-64, and osx-arm64 platforms. Install the fresnel package from the conda-forge channel into a conda environment:

The fresnel builds on conda-forge support CPU rendering.

Tip

Use mambaforge, miniforge or miniconda instead of the full Anaconda distribution to avoid package conflicts with conda-forge packages.
