Installation on macOS
This guide covers the following topics:
Note
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.
Downloading the Repository
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.
Setting up the Build Environment
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 thepip
command:sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
Note
Every now and then you may want to make sure your dependencies are up to date using:
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade
