00:04 Welcome to the series of Blender Tutorials .
00:08 This 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, let's 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 check-box 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.
