| 00:04 | Welcome to the series of Blender Tutorials . |
| 00:08 | These tutorial is about getting blender 2.59 and how to install and run Blender 2.59 on the Windows Operating System . |
| 00:21 | 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. |
| 00:37 | Open your internet browser. I am using Firefox 3.09 . In the address bar, type www.blender.org and hit the Enter key. |
| 00:54 | This should take you to the official Blender Website. |
| 01:01 | 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. |
| 01:22 | As you can see, this is the latest stable version of Blender. |
| 01:28 | You have two options here - a 32 bit or 64 bit installer. |
| 01:39 | You can download any one depending on which is applicable to your machine. |
| 01:44 | 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. |
| 02:01 | This archive contains all files required to run Blender. |
| 02:06 | 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, |
| 02:31 | an icon on the desktop, and opens .blend files with blender by default; |
| 02:40 | while the zip archive has all the application files and the executable Blender file in one single folder, |
| 02:48 | which can be copied to any drive on the computer. |
| 02:53 | 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. |
| 03:09 | As I said before, my internet browser is Firefox 3.09 '. |
| 03:16 | The download steps shown here are similar in all other internet browsers. |
| 03:23 | You can see here the download progress. |
| 03:26 | This horizontal download bar with the green vertical strips shows how much download is done. |
| 03:44 | The download speed depends on your internet connection . |
| 03:48 | Please wait until it is completed. |
| 04:02 | To extract the archive, first right click on the download. |
| 04:08 | Left click Open containing folder. Left double click on the zip. |
| 04:16 | It will open in an archiver like Winzip, which is installed by default on any windows machine. |
| 04:24 | Left click on EXTRACT Choose your destination folder from the list. |
| 04:32 | I am extracting to My Documents. Left Click Extract |
| 04:40 | 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. |
| 05:00 | Left double click to open the folder. Left double click the Blender executable. |
| 05:08 | Windows throws up a security warning - the publisher could not be verified. |
| 05:14 | This is nothing to worry about. Just click on the button Run . You are good to go. |
| 05:27 | 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. |
| 05:48 | So I left click on the download link for 32-Bit Installer and download starts. |
| 06:03 | For ease of demonstration, I have already downloaded the installer from the Blender website onto my machine. |
| 06:11 | I shall now walk you through the installation steps. Left Double click the installer. |
| 06:22 | Windows throws up the security warning - the publisher could not be verified. |
| 06:29 | This is nothing to worry about. Just click on the button Run . |
| 06:35 | So this is what the Blender Setup Wizard looks like. |
| 06:39 | 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. |
| 06:53 | Press page down to see the rest of the agreement. |
| 07:07 | I advise you to read this thoroughly. |
| 07:11 | Do note that Blender is free and open source . |
| 07:14 | You must accept this License Agreement to install Blender. |
| 07:21 | Now click on the I agree button to continue . |
| 07:27 | This next step allows you to choose components to install. |
| 07:32 | I advise you to install all the components selected by default and hit the next button to continue the installation . |
| 07:41 | 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. |
| 08:04 | This progress bar with the green strips shows how much of the installation is completed. |
| 08:10 | Usually it takes less than a minute to complete. |
| 08:33 | This completes the Blender Setup. |
| 08:36 | Blender has been installed on your machine |
| 08:39 | Keep the Run Blender checkbox selected. |
| 08:42 | Hit the Finish button. |
| 08:45 | Blender should automatically start running. |
| 08:52 | Provided the Blender binary is in the original extracted directory, |
| 08:57 | Blender will run straight out of the box without additional dependencies . |
| 09:03 | No system library or system preferences are altered. |
| 09:10 | So in this tutorial, we have learnt how to install Blender on a Windows operating system . |
| 09:19 | Now try to download Blender from the Blender website and install and run Blender on your machine. |
