I have managed to get viaconstructor running under windows.
but it is still some work,
no installer or anything

install python3.10.10 from:  www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.10/python-3.10.10-amd64.exe

install git from:  github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/...it-2.40.0-64-bit.exe

at the moment, you need also Visual Studio Community 2022 from:  visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/ (to install pyclipper / some dll's needed for CavalierContours)
git clone https://github.com/multigcs/viaconstructor.git

python3.exe -m pip install -r requirements-install.in
python3.exe -m viaconstructor tests/data/simple.dxf

I have installed it in a MacBook Pro 2012 on LinuxCNC.

I like how easy it is to use the software. Still learning!

I found it to be a bit slow if I want to change some parameters like feed rates etc. It almost freezes.
Choosing starting positions works without any delay.
If I try to open the gear tool the program shuts down.
Are there some parameters I could add to the startup of the binaries in order to get it to run faster?
