How to Add Blender PPA for Ubuntu-Based OSes

Add Blender PPA Ubuntu

Hi! The Tip Show How to Add the Blender PPA Repository for Ubuntu-Based GNU/Linux Systems.

And in this Ubuntu PPA Blender Blender is compiled with all bells and whistles (OSL, OpenCollada, OpenVDB, OSD, jemalloc & CUDA 9 precompiled kernels) and/nadapted to Ubuntu (python, ffmpeg, ilmbase, openEXR, eigen3, glew, lzo,… Ubuntu packages are used directly to avoid redundancy).

1. Open a Terminal Shell session
   Ctrl+Alt+t on Desktop
   (Press “Enter” to Execute Commands)

   

2. Then Add Blender PPA Repository.

   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thomas-schiex/blender

   If Got “User is Not in Sudoers file” then see: How to Enable sudo






3. Only For Ubuntu 14.10, 15.04, 15.10 and 16.10
   Edit the Source file

   sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*blender*.list

   For 16.10 Change “yakkety” in “xenial”!
   And for 14.10, 15.04, 15.10 instead Change “MYRELEASE” in “trusty” :)
   Ctrl+x to Save & Exit.

4. Finally, Refresh Apt Repositories.

   sudo apt update
