在Linux上安装¶

在下载Blender 页面确认最低配置要求以及从哪里获取Blender (如果你还没这么做的话)。

从blender.org安装¶

下载对应架构的Linux版本并解压缩到所需位置(如： ~/software or /usr/local)。

现在可以使用双击执行可执行文件启动Blender。

When using this method of installation, it is possible to have multiple versions of Blender installed.

为了方便访问，可以通过添加菜单或Blender快捷方式。还可以在文件浏览器将blend文件与Blender关联，这样就可以自动使用Blender打开文件了。这些设置通常位于窗口管理器设置中(KDE或Gnome)。

从包管理器安装¶

一些Linux发行版的仓库可能有特定的Blender包。

通过发行版自带的安装包安装Blender可以确保与系统中其他包的一致性，并且可以提供其它功能(包管理器提供)，比如包的列表，更新通知以及自动菜单配置。但是要注意的是，这些包可能不是官方最新版，或不包括Blender的某些功能。例如，有些发行版因为许可证的原因未能编译CUDA支持。

If there is a specific package for your distribution, you may choose what is preferable and most convenient, otherwise, the official binary is available on blender.org.

Install from Snap¶

Snap is a universal package manager designed to work across a range of distributions. Assuming snap is already installed, Blender can be installed through snap with:

snap install blender

Installing from this method has a benefit that updates to Blender are automatically installed. Blender from Snap should have a more consistent distribution then individual package managers.

从终端运行¶

见从终端启动。

避免 Alt+鼠标冲突¶

许多窗口管理器默认使用 Alt-LMB 移动窗口，但这也是Blender用于模拟三键鼠标的快捷键。可以禁用偏好设置(Preferences) ‣ 输入(Input) ‣ 模拟三键鼠标(Emulate 3 Button Mouse) ，或者将窗口管理器快捷键设置替换为 Meta 键(也称作 Super 或 Windows 键 ):

Gnome

在命令行输入下面的命令(在下次登录时生效)：

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences mouse-button-modifier '<Super>'

KDE

系统设置(System Settings) ‣ 窗口管理(Window Management) ‣ 窗口行为(Window Behavior) ‣窗口动作(Window Actions) ，切换 'Alt' 为 'Meta' 键。

Updating on Linux¶

On Linux there are various ways of updating Blender. This section covers the most common approaches.

Updating from blender.org¶

When an update for Blender is released, it can be downloaded directly from the Blender website and installed using the steps described in the section Install from blender.org.

Updating with a Package Manager¶

Many Linux distributions have packages for Blender available, which can be installed using the distribution's package manager. After installation, Blender can be updated using the same steps as updating any other application.
