    Hello
    I am have repeatedly followed the extension linux installation instructions for Blender 4.2
    https://www.soft8soft.com/docs/manual/en/blender/Installation.html#Installation_for_macOS_or_Linux
    on 2 Rocky linux machines but the extension is not seen.
    Is there anyone out there who has succeeded? Am I missing something ?
    Thank you

    Hi, it should work if you’ve specified the path properly. Does Verge3D shown on the Add-on tab? Also make sure you’re installing Verge3D 4.7 (older versions won’t work).

    I’m installing 4.7.1. Verge3D does not show up in the add-ons tab. Attached are screenshots of the add-on path

    Strange! Perhaps Python is too old there. What is the version of Rocky Linux used?

    Unfortunately, the minimal Python version to run Verge3D is 3.7. The Rocky 8.10 release notes state that you have up to Python 3.12 available. Please install the recent version from the repos.

    I’m no rocky specialist but I have installed 3.12 but blender uses the system default 3.6. Changing the default 3.6 to 3.12 breaks the OS, from I can read.
    Let me try on a mac …

    It works fine on a mac … so I’m good. Thank you

    You might also install recent Blender to a directory in your home folder from the official website.
