Blender User Manual, Release 2.78
Latest Stable Release This is a binary distribution of the latest version of Blender. It is considered stable and without
regressions.
Daily Builds This is a binary distribution of Blender that is updated daily to include the newest changes in development.
These versions are not as thoroughly tested as the stable release, and might break, although they are official and
generally not highly experimental.
Build from Source Blender’s source is available for reference and installation, with the following advantages:
• Blender is always up to date,
• it allows access to any version or branch where a feature is being developed,
• it can be freely customized.
Note: This is included for completeness, but it is not expected that regular users should have to compile their own Blender
builds.
Install Blender
The procedure for installing a binary, either the last stable release or a daily build, is the same. Follow the steps for your
operative system:
Installing on Linux Check the minimum requirements and where to get Blender, if you have not done so yet.
Specific packages for distributions Some Linux distributions may have on their repositories a specific package for
Blender.
Installing Blender via the distribution’s native mechanisms ensures consistency with other packages on the system and may
provide other features (given by the package manager), such as listing of packages, update notifications and automatic
menu configuration. Be aware, though, that the package may be outdated comparing to the latest official release, or not
include some features of Blender. For example, some distributions do not build Blender with CUDA support for licensing
reasons.
If there is a specific package for your distribution, you may choose what is preferable and most convenient, otherwise, there
is nothing wrong with the official binary on blender.org.
Download from blender.org Download the Linux version for your architecture and uncompress the file to the desired
location (eg. ~/software or /usr/local).
Blender can now be launched by double-clicking the executable.
For easy access, you can configure your system by adding a menu entry or shortcut for Blender and associate and open
blend-files with Blender when opening from the file browser. These settings typically belong to the Window Manager
(KDE, Gnome, Unity).
Running from the terminal To run Blender from the terminal without needing to be in the executable directory, add the
extracted folder to the environment PATH.
Add the following command to ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile pointing to the directory with Blender’s binary:
export PATH=/path/to/blender/directory:$PATH
Tip: If you use daily builds and update Blender frequently, you can link or always rename your folder to ‘blender’ and
use this name for the PATH environment variable and for keeping the window manager menu up to date.
