00:05 | Welcome to the series of Blender Tutorials. |
00:08 | These tutorial is about getting blender2.59 and how to install and run Blender 2.59 on the Windows Operating System. |
00:22 | For this tutorial I am using Windows XP operating system. |
00:28 | This script has been contributed by Chirag Raman and edited by Monisha Banerjee. |
00:38 | Open your internet browser .I am using Firefox 3.09. In the address bar, type www.blender.org and hit the Enter key. |
00:55 | This should take you to the official Blender Website. |
01:02 | Blender is free and open source. |
01:05 | The installer or source code is available for download from the Blender website. |
01:10 | Here is a 'Download Blender’ link right below the header of the page. |
01:15 | We shall click on this link to take us to the download page. |
01:23 | As you can see, this is the latest stable version of Blender. |
01:29 | You have two options here - a 32 bit or 64 bit installer. |
01:40 | You can download any one depending on which is applicable to your machine. |
01:45 | To understand about 32-BIT and 64-BIT systems, see our Tutorial on Blender Hardware Requirements. |
01:56 | The website also provides a zipped archive of the Blender program files. |
02:02 | This archive contains all files required to run Blender. |
make sure that directions on how to check if system is 32 or 64 is updated in the linked tutorial. | |
I have commented on Blender Hardware requirements tutorial.
| |
02:07 | You would need to unzip and extract the files to a folder of your choice and run the Blender executable. |
02:15 | Let me demonstrate |
02:17 | The main difference between installer and archive is that - |
02:22 | The installer places the Blender application files in C DRIVE "Program Files" and sets up an icon in the start menu, |
02:32 | an icon on the desktop, and opens .blend files with blender by default; while - |
02:41 | the zip archive has all the application files and the executable Blender file in one single folder, |
02:49 | which can be copied to any drive on the computer. |
02:54 | Now if I want to use the archive, for my machine, I need 32-Bit archive. |
03:02 | Left click on the download link for the 32-Bit archive and download starts. |
03:10 | As I said before, my internet browser is Firefox 3.09. |
03:17 | The download steps shown here are similar in all other internet browsers. |
03:24 | You can see here the download progress. |
03:27 | This horizontal download bar with the green vertical strips shows how much download is done. |
03:45 | The download speed depends on your internet connection. |
03:49 | Please wait until it is completed. |
04:03 | To extract the archive, first right click on the download. |
04:09 | Left click Open containing folder. Left double click on the zip. |
04:17 | It will open in an archiver like Winzip, which is installed by default on any windows machine. |
04:25 | Left click on “EXTRACT” Choose your destination folder from the list. |
04:33 | I am extracting to My Documents. Left Click “Extract” |
04:42 | This progress bar with the green strips shows how much extraction is done. |
04:56 | Now you can see the extracted folder on your screen. |
05:01 | Left double click to open the folder. Left double click the Blender executable. |
05:09 | Windows throws up a security warning - the publisher could not be verified. |
05:15 | This is nothing to worry about. Just click on the button ‘Run’. You are good to go. |
05:28 | Now if you want to use the installer, lets go back to the Blender Website. |
05:35 | Click on Download at the top of the page. This takes us back to the download page. |
05:44 | For my machine, I need 32-Bit installer. |
05:49 | So I left click on the download link for 32-Bit Installer and download starts. |
06:04 | For ease of demonstration I have already downloaded the installer from the Blender website onto my machine. |
06:12 | I shall now walk you through the installation steps. Left Double click the installer. |
06:23 | Windows shows a security warning - the publisher could not be verified. |
06:29 | This is nothing to worry about. Just click on the button ‘Run’. |
06:36 | So this is what the Blender Setup Wizard looks like. |
06:40 | Click on Next here to take you to the next step in the installation process. |
06:48 | As with most softwares, the installer shows a License Agreement. |
06:54 | Press page down to see the rest of the agreement. |
07:08 | I advise you to read this thoroughly. |
07:11 | Do note that Blender is free and open source. |
07:15 | You must accept this License Agreement to install Blender. |
07:22 | Now click on the ‘I agree’ button to continue. |
07:28 | This next step allows you to choose components to install. |
07:33 | I advise you to install all the components selected by default and hit the next button to continue the installation. |
07:42 | So here you have the option to Choose Install location for Blender. |
07:48 | By default the ‘Program Files’ folder is selected |
07:51 | which is a good location to install Blender so go ahead and hit the ‘Install’ button. |
08:05 | This progress bar with the green strips shows how much of the installation is completed. |
08:11 | Usually it takes less than a minute to complete. |
08:34 | This completes the Blender Setup. |
08:36 | Blender has been installed on your machine |
08:40 | Keep the ‘Run Blender’ checkbox selected. |
08:43 | Hit the Finish button. |
08:46 | Blender should automatically start running. |
08:53 | Provided the Blender binary is in the original extracted directory, |
08:58 | Blender will run straight out of the box without additional dependencies. |
09:04 | No system libraries or system preferences are altered. |
09:11 | So in this tutorial, we have learnt how to install Blender on a Windows operating system.
|
09:20 | Now try to download Blender from the Blender website and install and run Blender on your machine. |
