The PicoGK C# module relies on the PicoGK Runtime to do the heavy lifting.
PicoGK Runtime is written in C++ and is dependent on the OpenVDB and the GLFW open source software projects.
In order for PicoGK to work, we need to put the compiled PicoGK Runtime and its dependent modules in a place on your system that can be found when you launch your Computational Engineering app.
Here are the files that the PicoGK installer puts on your system.
The PicoGK macOS installer copies the following files to /usr/local/lib
picogk.v.x.dylib
picogk.v.x.liblzma.5.dylib
picogk.v.x.libzstd.1.dylib
(with v.x. being the PicoGK version, for example picogk.1.0.dylib)
liblzma and libzstd are dependencies of OpenVDB.
To remove the PicoGK Runtime from your system, simply delete these files.
The PicoGK Windows installer copies the following files to your System32 directory.
picogk.*.dll
blosc.dll
lz4.dll
tbb12.dll
zlib1.dll
zstd.dll
To remove PicoGK from your system, run the uninstall procedure in the Windows settings. All of the files, except for picogk*.dll are dependencies of OpenVDB.
If you have custom needs for your installation behavior, you can always compile PicoGK Runtime on your own and/or create custom installers.
