Installation on macOS

This guide covers the following topics:

Nota

This guide relies heavily on command-line tools. It assumes you are the least familiar with the macOS Terminal application.

Installing Dependencies

Install those packages or make sure you have them in your system.

Avvertimento

Python 3.10 is not yet support, it is recommended to use Python 3.9 or earlier.

Simply check out the Blender Manual’s repository using:

cd ~
svn checkout https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-manual/trunk/blender_docs

The repository will now be downloaded which may take a few minutes depending on your internet connection.

Open a Terminal window.
Enter the blender_docs folder which was just added by the SVN checkout:
```
cd ~/blender_docs
```
Inside that folder is a file called requirements.txt which contains a list of all the dependencies we need. To install these dependencies, we can use the pip command:
```
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Nota

Every now and then you may want to make sure your dependencies are up to date using:

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade
