Install dependencies¶

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3.11 python3.11-venv pipx git libsm6

Configure PATH¶

Make sure that the directory /home/[username]/.local/bin is present in your PATH. You can do this by running the following in your shell:

export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

Clone and install picknblend¶

Install picknblend:

python3.11 -m pipx install 'git+https://github.com/antmicro/picknblend.git'

git clone https://github.com/antmicro/picknblend.git
cd picknblend
python3.11 -m pipx install --editable .

This installs the required dependencies and installs picknblend into its own virtual environment. picknblend depends on the bpy package in version 4.1 to interact with Blender, which is currently only compatible with Python 3.11.
