Yes, if you need multiple Dragonfly extensions and can accept the AGPL-3.0 copyleft license. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and provides genuine convenience for multi-tool workflows. If you need only one or two Dragonfly capabilities, install those packages directly instead to keep your environment lighter.

What it is and what it does
lbt-dragonfly is a convenience meta-package that bundles Dragonfly's core libraries and all major extensions into a single installation. It has no source code of its own; instead, it exists solely to pull in dragonfly-energy, dragonfly-radiance, dragonfly-openstudio, dragonfly-doe2, dragonfly-uwg, dragonfly-display, dragonfly-comparison, and lbt-honeybee as dependencies, along with their transitive dependencies (dragonfly-core, dragonfly-schema, and lbt-ladybug).
This is useful for workflows that need multiple Dragonfly capabilities—energy simulation, daylighting analysis, OpenStudio integration, DOE-2 support, urban weather generation, and visualization—without having to manually specify each package. The trade-off is that you install everything at once, which can be substantial; if you only need one or two Dragonfly extensions, installing them directly may be lighter.
Use it for
- Install all Dragonfly tools at once for a complete urban building energy and daylighting simulation environment.
- Set up a shared development environment where multiple team members need consistent access to all Dragonfly extensions.
- Integrate Dragonfly into a larger building-performance-analysis pipeline that uses energy, radiance, and microclimate modeling.
- Prototype or research workflows that combine energy simulation with daylighting and urban weather effects.
- Deploy Dragonfly in a containerized or cloud environment where a single installation command is preferred over managing individual packages.

Before you install
Low install friction; distributed as a wheel. Active maintenance with a release on 2026-08-14. Depends on 8 runtime packages (dragonfly-energy, dragonfly-radiance, dragonfly-openstudio, dragonfly-doe2, dragonfly-uwg, dragonfly-display, dragonfly-comparison, lbt-honeybee), so installation will pull in a substantial dependency tree.
