Time Narration
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.
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.
