Greetings, I recently began working with Dynamo for our firm. I was wondering if other users (who don’t have any installed packages and don’t know anything about Dynamo) will be able to run scripts that I built with the help of packages?
Does running the script require them to be in the dynamo and isntal packages?
or is there a different method? Could I add a node to download packages to my script?
or is there a method to share packages on our server?
I’ve already created a user interface for my script, so even someone without any dynamo knowledge could run it without messing it up.
Thank you in advance!
Hi and welcome
No, they need to have the same packages as you use in the script.
There is a recording in Dynamo Office Hour about deployment. https://youtu.be/FKgNmMlaChc?si=9Vy5Kz8xaDcfB0B2
Have a look

Me and my IT guy made a logon script which pushes Dynamo packages into the appdata folder for other users whenever they are changed on a shared location. this way the user doesn’t try to access the shared network folder(as this makes Dynamo incredibly slow for us). Our network folder contains the up to date packages, and new ones get added there by me. The other users just turn on their computer and new or altered packages get copied into the default dynamo appdata folder.
edit:
Glad to see this solved your issue 
Just to add… you can store the graphs you make on the network folder, just not the packages.
We make our users use the graphs that are saved on the shared network folder (as they only ever use Dynamo Player anyway…). So i can easily insure that everyone is using the exact same graph. But you could also do this in a similar fashion as the logon script, there is less need for it though.
