How to install in snap version

Open Nearoo opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

OS: Linux Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Blender version: 2.8

Issue description: Snap installation directories are read-only, even for root. Godot's plugin thus cannot be installed where other plugins are located. I found no instructions on what to do in this case.

Solution: Install from inside Blender (Edit -> Preferences -> Addons -> Install...). Since you can only select files and not directories in this dialogue, I had to zip io_scene_godot first and then select that.

This results in io_scene_godot being copied into ~/.config/blender/2.80/scripts/addons/. You could do this manually too, but the scripts/addons tail doesn't exist before you install an addon this way, a description of that would thus be useful...?

The current way is following https://github.com/godotengine/godot-blender-exporter#installation, you clone the repo, either copy paste io_scene_godot into addons directory manually or create a symbol link.
And there is some left out discussion at #9

I also think the current method is not ideal, do you have any suggestions? I would be happy to improve it
