Does not work after reinstalling Grasshopper
Upon installing Grasshopper some files of the Karamba3D package may have been erased. Try to reinstall Karamba3D.
Does not appear nor any of its components seem to be installed
- Make sure to unblock the Karamba3D installation (*.msi) file before running the installation. To do this, right click on the file in Explorer and go to "Properties". If the file is blocked, there will be an option to "Unblock" the file at the bottom of the Properties Window.
- Ensure that you install Karamba3D as an administrator.
- Check the directory where Karamba3D is installed. It should be located in the Plugins folder of the Rhino installation. This is often C:\Program Files\Rhino 6\Plug-ins or C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros 5.0 (64-bit)\Plug-ins, however it can also be C:Program Files\Rhinoceros 5 (64-bit)\Plug-ins. Make sure the folders correlate otherwise Karamba3D will not appear in Grasshopper.
- In case of multiple versions of Rhino on your machine make sure that you installed Karamba3D to that right version. Karamba3D can be installed for βRhinoceros 5 (64-bit)β, βRhino 6β and βRhino 7β in parallel. In that case there will be three βKaramba3Dβ entries in the list of installed applications.
- You can also navigate to the Plugins folder of your Rhino installation (C:\Program Files\Rhino 6\Plug-ins for example) and drag and drop the Karamba.gha file into your Grasshopper canvas.

- 2.Check to see if the installation file downloaded contains the *.msi extension. Sometimes Windows automatically adds an *.exe extensions to *.msi files.
