Can't install Open Babel

[Johann Hemmer]

Hi,

First, thanks for Beautiful Atoms, it's really great. Though I'm unable to install Open Babel with the automated Cross-Platform Installation Script. I installed the latest MSVC and C++ CMake tools as mentioned and cloned the repository.

With the following command python install.py --use-startup --use-preferences "%PROGRAMFILES%\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.6\3.6"

I'm getting the following error from the openbabel-3.1.1.1 installer:

Error: SWIG failed. Is Open Babel installed?
      You may need to manually specify the location of Open Babel include and library directories. For example:
        python setup.py build_ext -I/usr/local/include/openbabel3 -L/usr/local/lib
        python setup.py install

The installer then proceeds without installing openbabel and it works (except for openbabel, of course). Could you please enlighten me?

Thanks!!

Hi. Do you need to use `SMILES`. If not, the openbabel is not needed. 

I don't have a Windows computer. I guess you can install the Open Babel directly from here: https://openbabel.org/docs/dev/Installation/install.html
