在Linux上安装¶

Check the Downloading Blender page to find the minimum requirements and where to get Blender (if you have not done so yet).

从blender.org安装¶

Download the Linux version for your architecture and uncompress the file to the desired location (e.g. ~/software or /usr/local).

现在可以使用双击执行可执行文件启动Blender。

使用这种安装方法时，可能会安装多个版本的Blender。

For ease of access, you can configure your system by adding a menu entry or shortcut for Blender. You may also associate blend-files with Blender so that when selected from the file browser, they will automatically open in Blender. These settings are typically found in conjunction with the Window Manager settings. (Gnome or KDE.)

从包管理器安装¶

一些Linux发行版的仓库可能有特定的Blender包。

Installing Blender via the distribution's native mechanisms ensures consistency with other packages on the system and may provide other features (given by the package manager), such as listing of packages, update notifications and automatic menu configuration. Be aware, though, that the package may be outdated compared to the latest official release, or not include some features of Blender. For example, some distributions do not build Blender with CUDA support, for licensing reasons.

如果有你使用的发行版有对应的安装包，自然是再方便不过的了，不过使用 blender.org 的官方二进制文件也是没问题的。

从Snap安装¶

Snap 是一个通用软件包管理器，旨在跨多个发行版工作。假设已经安装了snap，可以通过snap通过以下方式安装Blender：

snap install blender

使用该方法进行安装的好处是可以自动安装Blender的更新。与单个程序包管理器相比，Snap的Blender应该具有更一致的发布。

从终端运行¶

见从终端启动。

Avoiding Alt+Mouse Conflict¶

Many Window Managers default to Alt-LMB for moving windows, which is a shortcut that Blender uses to simulate a three button mouse. You can either have this feature disabled Preferences ‣ Input ‣ Emulate 3 Button Mouse or you can change the Window Manager settings to use the Meta key instead (also called Super or Windows key):

Gnome（桌面环境）

在命令行输入下面的命令（在下次登录时生效）：

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences mouse-button-modifier '<Super>'

KDE（桌面环境）

系统设置（System Settings) ‣ 窗口管理(Window Management) ‣ 窗口行为(Window Behavior) ‣窗口动作(Window Actions），切换 'Alt' 为 'Meta' 键。

在Linux上更新¶

在Linux上，有多种更新Blender的方法。本节介绍最常用的方法。

从blender.org更新¶

当Blender的更新发布后，可以直接从 Blender网站下载，并使用从blender.org安装部分中描述的步骤进行安装。

从包管理器更新¶

许多Linux发行版都有可用的Blender软件包，可以使用发行版的软件包管理器进行安装。安装后，可以使用与更新任何其他应用程序相同的步骤来更新Blender。
