Installation on Linux¶
This guide covers the following topics:
Installing Dependencies¶
Below are listed the installation commands for popular Linux distributions.
For the appropriate system, run the command in a terminal:
- Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install python python-pip subversion
- Redhat/Fedora
sudo yum install python python-pip
- Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S python python-pip subversion
Downloading the Repository¶
Simply check out the blender-manual repository using:
cd ~
svn checkout https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-manual/trunk/blender_docs
The repository will now be downloaded which may take a few minutes depending on your internet connection.
Setting up the Build Environment¶
In a terminal, enter the blender_docs folder which was just added by the SVN checkout:
cd ~/blender_docs
Inside that folder is a file called requirements.txt which contains a list of all the dependencies we need.
To install these dependencies, we can use the pip command:
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
Note
Every now and then you may want to make sure your lib dependencies are up to date using:
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade
