Hello,  
I would like to export my Lpy model into some format in which my arhitecture can be understood by other people not familiar with LPy I don’t know if the best format is MTG or if there is a way to extract the spatial coordinates of my architecture.  
I was aproaching the problem using the YOUTUBE lessons from prof @godin ( MC 15 LPy Application Programming Interface and LPy Tools library) and I discovered the LPy tools ( [Point\_sampler documentation — lpy\_tools 0.1.0 documentation (inria.fr)](https://mosaic.gitlabpages.inria.fr/lpy_tools/point_sampler.html#instruction-for-using-the-point-sampler-on-any-virtual-l-py-plant-model).

However I really can’t manage to install lpy\_tools  
I tired with:  
1)

```auto
conda install lpy_tools -c mosaic -c fredboudon -c conda-forge 

```

as suggested here: [MOSAIC / lpy\_tools · GitLab (inria.fr)](https://gitlab.inria.fr/mosaic/lpy_tools)

1. 

```auto
conda install -c mosaic lpy_tools

```

as suggested here: [Lpy Tools :: Anaconda.org](https://anaconda.org/mosaic/lpy_tools)

I don’t know what I can do.  
can somebody help me?

Thanks so much  
Francesca
