This is a duplicate of the following discussion:  
[Default Mesh Color in Rhino - compas - compas (compas-framework.org)](https://forum.compas-framework.org/t/default-mesh-color-in-rhino/771)

**Short answer:** install version 2.  
**Long answer:** fork the latest repo and type similar bash commands in the Anaconda prompt:

**Step 1** - Clone repo from github

```bash
git clone: https://github.com/compas-dev/compas.git
cd C:\brg\2_code\compas

```

**Step 2** - Create environment (if you are using RhinoCode specify the correct python version):

```auto
conda create -n compas_dev python=3.9.10

```

or if you need additional dependencies:

```auto
conda create -n view2 -c conda-forge compas_view2

```

**Step 3** - activate environment and install requirements

```auto
conda activate compas_dev
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

```

**Step 4** - Install rhino part, depending if you are using 7 or Rhino 8 Beta:

```auto
python -m compas_rhino.install -v 8.0 compas

```
