Installing compas packages for Rhino 7

[Keerthana]

hello !

I’m interested to know if its possible to install compas packages for Rhino 7.
On attempting to do this (like below)

(base) C:\WINDOWS\system32>conda activate csdii

(csdii) C:\WINDOWS\system32>python -m compas_rhino.install -v 7.0

I get an error

Traceback (most recent call last):

    return _run_code(code, main_globals, None,

I am using COMPAS version 1.0 running on a Windows 10 PC

You need to run python within Rhino once before install COMPAS for Rhino to create that IronPython directory.
