Hi;  
When i install some packages like celery and [arch-lab.net](http://arch-lab.net), its nodes don’t appear in my list.  
I use dynamo core 2.00.4354 that integrated with Alias.  
Any suggestions please.

Thank you all.

make sure to download the 2.0 versions of those packages. I believe at least celery has been updated, and I think Archilab was done or is in progress.

Yes I downloaded the latest versions but it still not working.  
I think the issue arises from python related stuffs.  
Should i install some python libraries to my PC, how to get it?

it could be the specific version of dynamo which is bundled with alias, but I am not sure.  
Do you see any notifications in the menu for dynamo. I agree with @erfajo you should not need to install additional python libraries to see packages.

No, there is no notifications. The packages manager shows that the packages are installed, but there is nothing in the list!!.

please look in the console as well for errors -  
likely you are trying to load packages which have a dependencies on the RevitAPI dlls - these will not load unless you are in revit.

archilab depends on the revit api - it cannot be loaded while using alias.

> <https://github.com/ksobon/archilab/blob/master/archilab/archilab.csproj#L82>

you could post an issue there for @Konrad_K_Sobon - maybe he can move some non revit functionality to a different core package - or you can fork his repo and do something similar.

Alright, that explains why [archi-lab.net](http://archi-lab.net) not working, what about “Celery” package. I looked up the log file for something related, but i think there is nothing.  
Here is the full log after a new fresh session:

Hi @maxy_13

Try loading dll file manually. Go to File-\> Import Library and select custom packages dll file and open.

I loaded .dll manually and that worked like a charm.  
Thank you for your help.  
Much appreciated

AFAIK- you should be fine to use the 2018 api in the 2017 environment, unless your package calls a method that does not exist in the 2017 api.

Hi, I installed [Archi-lab](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/revit-2022-dynamo-2-10-package-not-showing-up-and-icons-missing/62933/7?) package 2022.210.2522 for Revit 2022, dynamo 2.10. After I installed it, the package does not appear. I have tried all versions of 2022.210.xx22, and I also tried to manually load (do not allow me to load), I will try to publish it locally (part of functions works). @Konrad_K_Sobon, could you please provide some suggestions for the situation.
