To install blender 2.46

You can use any location you want you only need to take care that you got about 40 Mega-Bytes of space on your hard disk. After you have specified your destination directory the installer will ask you where you want to place your user data files.

You have 3 different options. I will select the secnd option. Now blender places all user-data directly into the installation directory. But caution here! You may loose parts of your personal data when you decide to upgrade or reinstall blender.

So, lets finish the installation now and start working: The blender-program-icon is located right on your desktop. After starting blender you see the blender default-screen.

Hidden behind the default-screen you find the blender console-window. The console gives you important information about your installation. Here blender tells us that it could not find the correct python-installation.

Hey, The Ubuntu repositories are notorious for being one step behind the latest updates. In fact I've just run into this problem myself today, and I updated a couple of packages OpenOffice included that just couldn't wait.

I've just downloaded the archive that you mentioned to test it out. It seems like it should work out of the box! Enter that directory and run blender by typing. Then, under Command, type in the path to your extracted Blender. Look for a menu-editing utility and change the path of the launcher to where you extracted Blender.

The ubuntu repo's don't get updated often because Ubuntu is not a rolling release I believe Gentoo and Arch are rolling releases. If not I'd just wait and continue using 2. I've heard many great things about it from my friend, including cloth animations etc I would like to see this happen also. I would like to update Blender as major things have been added to the program. This is very easy to do, and I have done it myself. Simply DL the binary you need from blender. Extract that file you download to wherever you wish.

So to create a menu entry, right click on the application bar, select "edit menus". In the new window that opens, click on "graphics" in the left. Click on the New item button. Has anyone checked the Backports or Updates? Well, I might have a look at how to make a deb for blender this evening. Or whenever I have some spare time. If I am successful I will post a link here. Or maybe I could even get it uploaded into backports or anything Who knows
