Installation

Pip4Blender is installed exactly like any other Blender add-on, and is distributed as a single Python file. The latest release can be downloaded from https://github.com/AO-StreetArt/pip4blender/releases.

Note

Users with Blender 2.80 should download the pip4blender.py file from the blender-2.80 branch. A new release compatible with Blender 2.80 will be created when the new version of Blender is officially released.

Add-on Install

From the User Preferences panel, select ‘Install Addon from File’, and select the pip4blender.py file.

Pip Install

Installing Pip in the Blender environment is also required before the rest of the functionality of the add-on is accessed. This can be done by selecting the ‘Install Pip in Blender’ button, but only needs to be done once for any given Blender installation.

This might take a few minutes to run, if you want to watch the installation progress you should run Blender from a terminal.
