PotreePublisher

Small CLI to quickly publish a single LAS file or a whole folder to a Potree server.

Prerequisites

It is assumed that you have a Potree server installed on your machine.

Expand for instructions if you don't 😉

1. Clone the potree repository: git clone https://github.com/potree/potree

2. Make sure you have the Node Package Manager (npm) installed (usually delivered with node.js).

3. Inside potree's repository, run npm install. It will install dependencies (specified in package.json) and create a build in ./build/potree.

4. Move the potree folder to you favorite http server.

5. Make sure you spot the location where you want to:

• store the point clouds
• store the viewer html files

6. You're good to go!

It is also assumed that you have PotreeConverter installed. See this page for instructions.
