open3d-unofficial-arm 0.19.0.post1

Universal Open3D installer: ARM wheels + fallback to official package

open3d-unofficial-arm

Universal Open3D installer that works on all platforms.

What is this?

This package provides a universal way to install Open3D that automatically does the right thing for your platform:

• ARM64 (aarch64): Installs pre-built ARM wheels (Open3D 0.19.0) - a stop-gap while waiting for official ARM support
• Other platforms (x86_64, etc.): Installs the official open3d package from PyPI

No more platform-specific installation logic in your code!

Installation

pip install open3d-unofficial-arm

Usage

Option 1: Direct Import (Recommended)

import open3d_unofficial_arm as o3d

# Use it like normal open3d
pcd = o3d.geometry.PointCloud()

On first import, this automatically installs the appropriate Open3D package for your platform.

Option 2: Traditional Import

# One-time setup after installation:
open3d-arm-setup

Then in your code:

import open3d as o3d

Option 3: In Your Project

Add to your requirements.txt:

open3d-unofficial-arm

Then in your code:

import open3d_unofficial_arm  # Triggers auto-install
import open3d as o3d          # Now works everywhere

Supported Platforms

ARM64:

• OS: Linux (manylinux_2_35)
• Architecture: ARM64 (aarch64)
• Python versions: 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13

Other platforms:

• Automatically installs official open3d package with full platform support

How It Works

1. When you import open3d_unofficial_arm, it checks if open3d is installed
2. If not, it automatically installs:
   • ARM64: Bundled wheel for your Python version
   • Other platforms: Official open3d from PyPI
3. Re-exports all open3d functionality for direct use

Notes

• This is an unofficial package and is not affiliated with the Open3D project
• On ARM64: Uses bundled wheels as a temporary solution until official ARM support is available
• On other platforms: Installs the official open3d package
• The package automatically detects your platform and installs the correct version
