What problem does it solve?
Installing Scene Optimizer from a published binary drop can fail due to strict Python ABI matching and dynamic library search path issues; this skill provides a reliable, no-source-build install and verification path.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Drop-aware installation guidance: Explains how to consume the published binary layout (include/, lib/, python/, usdpy/, extraLibs/) without using repo.sh or rebuilding.
- Platform- and ABI-correct setup: Covers interpreter version matching (py_<ver> token), PYTHONPATH requirements (python + usdpy), and library search path timing (PATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH before process start).
- Smoke-test verification: Provides a minimal Python check that confirms the bindings load and an operation executes against an in-memory USD stage.
Quick Start
Follow the platform-specific guide in docs/install-prebuilt-windows.md or docs/install-prebuilt-linux.md, then run the provided smoke-check script to confirm the drop works.
