Running "True" Headless mode

Post by martin »

Hi,

First of all, as I mentioned in other post, I am switching form CoppeliaSim 4.0 to CoppeliaSim 4.4. In addition, I usually run my experiments in a computational cluster, for that, I frquently use the headless mode of the simulator.

Regarding this, I've been looking at the post "True headless rendering" https://forum.coppeliarobotics.com/viewtopic.php?t=9294 and at the "CommandL Line" page https://www.coppeliarobotics.com/helpFi ... ommandLine. I've seen that now it is possible to run Coppelia in "True headless mode" not only by deactivating all GUI, but I also presume that it optimizes the simulation process, making it faster and lighter.

However, following the instructions of both links, I could not find neither the "libcoppeliaSimHeadless.so" file, nor the "coppeliaSimLibHeadless.so" in the folder of the binaries of the "CoppeliaSim_Edu_V4_4_0_rev0_Ubuntu18_04" or something similar. Where can I find them? Do I misunderstood something?

Regards!

Hello,

from what I can see, the file you mention, i.e. libcoppeliaSimHeadless.so is present in the Ubuntu18 package of CoppeliaSim Edu...

Cheers

Hi,

That's true, it is in the main folder. I'm sorry for wasting your time, but the automatic search of the file explorer did not find it (even now it is not able to find it with it selected!)

Many thanks again.
