Tools and dependencies are the same thing in Pylos except that some blocks or guides require specific tools to work. Those are dependencies. Finding and installing dependencies

• Example/tutorial resources
• Get started with Revit addins
• Get started with Grasshopper plugins
• Suggest a plugin/addin

Getting new tools and dependencies to work can require a little help. Help track issues for tools that dont work and suggest new tools we should have on Pylos.
