Installing on Linux

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

 

  1. Extract the contents of the exporter zip file into a directory on your hard drive.
  2. Open a command prompt and Change Directory to the folder where the files have been extracted, ex: "cd /home/joe/DTSExporter096_Files" (sans quotes)
  3. Type the following command to make the install script executable: "chmod +x InstallScripts.sh" (sans quotes)
  4. Type the following to execute the installer "./InstallScripts.sh" (sans quotes)
  5. You should see the following messages appear: "Install: All folders created." and "Install: Scripts successfully copied."
  6. If any error messages appear or if the install fails to work, try using the manual installation instructions in the next section.

 

Manual installation

 

  1. Extract the contents of the exporter zip file into a directory on your hard drive
  2. 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.
  3. Open Blender and verify that the exporter scripts appear under the File->export menu.
