Installation

PyR3 is officially available at Python Package Index, therefore you can use PIP to install it Type following into your command line:

pip install PyR3

and hit enter. PyR3 requires bpy (blender as python module) to run, but has no automatic way to install it on users PC. You can either install it manually or use PyR3.install_bpy to download and install it automatically. For later, see next section.

Installing bpy

PyR3.install_bpy script contained in this package can be used to install bpy for currently used python.

Appropriate bpy binaries will be automatically downloaded from here in form of tar.gz archive. Downloaded file will be placed in side-packages/.. (folder containing side-packages).

However, if you provide appropriate archive (name is important) in this location manually, it will be used instead of downloading. Therefore no internet connection will be needed first time PyR3 gets invoked. After installation tar.gz file is deleted, regardless of its origin.

When initializer script is invoked, it unpacks files from tar.gz archive in appropriate places, which differ depending on operating system:

• on Windows 2.93 folder will end up next to python executable you are using (even if you are using virtual environment, its necessary to place it there) and rest of the files will be copied to site-packages,

• on Linux tar archive will be unpacked into site-packages folder.

Package Removal

To remove PyR3 from your python use:

pip uninstall PyR3

However if you have installed bpy with PyR3 (or any other way) above command wont remove it. Files which belong to bpy have to be deleted manually, and can be found in places described in Installing bpy section.
