Cannot install daily build for Blender 2.93

Post by cloudrunner »

I downloaded the daily build that is supposed to be used for Blender 2.93. I opened preferences and went to addons. I clicked on install and went to the downloaded ZIP file. I highlighted the file in the browser and clicked on install. It changed to a screen showing python init file and I clicked on it and pressed install. Nothing happened. Nothing at all. I looked for the addon and nothing. I have tried this multiple times. I have the appropriate C++ libraries on my system through the latest update in October 2021. No errors..no anything.

How can I get this installed? I just looked at the Blender system console and it says that it was installed in the C:\Users\losle\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.93\scripts\addons. It shows main_py for todays date. But it is nowhere in the addons list. I have close and reopened the app several times.

Why? Thank you in advance

It sounds like you are opening the .zip, you have instead to select the .zip file and press install: https://wiki.luxcorerender.org/BlendLux ... stallation
