Configuration

AVBLOCKS_CORE_PATH

The AVBLOCKS_CORE_PATH environment variable specifies the directory containing the native AVBlocks library.

How it works

When AVBlocks is imported, it searches for the native library in the following order:

1. The directory specified by AVBLOCKS_CORE_PATH

2. The sdk/lib/x64 or sdk/lib/arm64 directory, depending on your installation, relative to the package root

3. Common system library paths:

   • /usr/local/lib (macOS/Linux)

   • /usr/lib (Linux)

Setting the environment variable

macOS Intel (x86_64):

export AVBLOCKS_CORE_PATH=/path/to/avblocks/sdk/lib/x64

macOS Apple Silicon (arm64):

export AVBLOCKS_CORE_PATH=/path/to/avblocks/sdk/lib/arm64

Linux x64 (x86_64):

export AVBLOCKS_CORE_PATH=/path/to/avblocks/sdk/lib/x64

Linux ARM64 (aarch64):

export AVBLOCKS_CORE_PATH=/path/to/avblocks/sdk/lib/arm64

Windows x64, Command Prompt:

set AVBLOCKS_CORE_PATH=C:\path\to\avblocks\sdk\lib\x64

Windows x64, PowerShell:

$env:AVBLOCKS_CORE_PATH="C:\path\to\avblocks\sdk\lib\x64"

Windows ARM64, Command Prompt:

set AVBLOCKS_CORE_PATH=C:\path\to\avblocks\sdk\lib\arm64

Windows ARM64, PowerShell:

$env:AVBLOCKS_CORE_PATH="C:\path\to\avblocks\sdk\lib\arm64"

Library files

The native library file name depends on the platform:

Platform	Library File
macOS	libAVBlocks.dylib
Linux	libAVBlocks64.so
Windows	AVBlocks64.dll
