It is highly recommended that you install somewhere that your normal user account has permission to write to.
Installing with the command prompt (shell)
With installer
- Extract the contents of the exporter zip file into a directory on your hard drive.
- Open a command prompt and Change Directory to the folder where the files have been extracted, ex: "cd /home/joe/DTSExporter096_Files" (sans quotes)
- Type the following command to make the install script executable: "chmod +x InstallScripts.sh" (sans quotes)
- Type the following to execute the installer "./InstallScripts.sh" (sans quotes)
- You should see the following messages appear: "Install: All folders created." and "Install: Scripts successfully copied."
- If any error messages appear or if the install fails to work, try using the manual installation instructions in the next section.
Manual installation
- Extract the contents of the exporter zip file into a directory on your hard drive
- Using a graphical file manager, or the command prompt, copy the entire contents of the extracted zip file (including the DTSPython and DTSGUI sub-directories and thier contents) into your blender scripts folder. On most linux systems, the folder is located in ~/.blender/scripts (~ is the user's home folder, for example /home/joe/.blender/scripts). This is a hidden folder, so you may have to turn on viewing of hidden folders in your file manager.
- Open Blender and verify that the exporter scripts appear under the File->export menu.
