Hey guys, I’m just getting started with this but I saw a little error (I think) in the installation command for COMPAS in Rhino. It says to `install -p compas_fab` but at this point I believe that should just be `install -p compas`? > **[COMPAS - Rhino (Windows and Mac)](https://compas.dev/compas/gettingstarted/rhino.html)** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/compas_framework1/original/1X/430194ec469e7b279ea9edf4883382ae89eb35ea.png) Best, Léon ---

hi léon, the instructions you are referring to are for installing **additional** COMPAS packages (other than the core packages `compas`, `compas_rhino`, `compas_ghpython`, which are automatically installed). so the installation of `compas_fab` is just an example of the installation procedure for additional packages. typically you would do something like this to install the core packages + additional ones ```bash python -m compas_rhino.install python -m compas_rhino.install -p compas_fab ``` the first line installs the core packages. the second line installs `compas_fab` but i can see how the instructions could be confusing. will update…
