Blender 3.0 is here! With it, 3.0 comes many excellent new features and performance improvements. If you\u2019re an avid user of Blender, you\u2019ll want to get this latest upgrade. Here\u2019s how you can upgrade Blender to 3.0.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ubuntu instructions<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019d like to upgrade to Blender 3 on Ubuntu Linux, you must install Blender via the downloadable TarXZ archive. To get the latest release of Blender for Ubuntu, you must open up a terminal window.<\/p>\n

To launch a terminal window on the Ubuntu desktop, press Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it that way. Once the terminal window opens, use the wget<\/strong> download command to grab Blender 3.0.<\/p>\n

\nwget https:\/\/mirror.clarkson.edu\/blender\/release\/Blender3.0\/blender-3.0.0-linux-x64.tar.xz\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the TarXZ archive to your computer, you must extract its contents. Using the tar<\/strong> command, decompress the Blender 3.0 TarXZ archive you downloaded using wget<\/strong> earlier.<\/p>\n
\ntar xvf blender-3.0.0-linux-x64.tar.xz\n<\/pre>\n
Upon extracting the contents of the TarXZ file, a folder with the name \u201cblender-3.0.0-linux-x64\u201d will appear in your home directory. Using the CD<\/strong> command, move into this folder.<\/p>\n
\ncd blender-3.0.0-linux-x64\n<\/pre>\n
Inside this folder, you\u2019ll be able to run Blender straight away using the command below.<\/p>\n
\n.\/blender\n<\/pre>\n
Alternatively, open up the Ubuntu file manager and double-click on the \u201cblender\u201d\u00a0 file to start it up.<\/p>\n
If you prefer to set up Blender globally on your Ubuntu system, modify the blender.desktop file in the folder. However, this shouldn\u2019t be necessary as the program is easily run via the command.<\/p>\n
Debian instructions<\/h2>\n
Debian Linux is a stable Linux operating system. However, as it focuses on being stable, some packages are out of date. As a result, Blender will not be updating to 3.0 any time soon.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, if you are using Debian, you\u2019ll still be able to get your hands on Blender 3.0 by following the Ubuntu Linux instructions above. Alternatively, you can get Blender 3.0 on Debian by installing it as a Flatpak or Snap package.<\/p>\n
Arch Linux instructions<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Arch Linux always gets the latest packages, as it is what is known as a rolling release distribution. The newest version of Blender (3.0) is available to all Arch Linux users via the \u201ccommunity\u201d software repository.<\/p>\n
To get Blender 3.0 on your Arch Linux system, ensure that you have the \u201ccommunity\u201d repository enabled in your \/etc\/pacman.conf<\/code> file. Once you do, open up a terminal window on the desktop.<\/p>\n
Use the pacman -S<\/strong> command to install Blender 3.0 to your Arch Linux system with the terminal window open. Alternatively, if you already have Blender installed, you can upgrade to 3.0 using the pacman -Syyu<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S blender\n<\/pre>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syyu\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora instructions<\/h2>\n
Fedora always has the latest packages for its users. For this reason, it will be straightforward to get Blender 3.0. To get Blender installed on Fedora updated to 3.0, you\u2019ll need to use the dnf update<\/strong> command in a terminal window.<\/p>\n
Open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it that way. Once the terminal window is open and ready to use, run the dnf update<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dnf update\n<\/pre>\n
Running the dnf update<\/strong> command will download the latest version of Blender (3.0) to your Fedora system. However, if you do not have the latest release of Blender on your Fedora system, you can install it using the dnf install<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dnf install blender\n<\/pre>\n
OpenSUSE instructions<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Blender 3.0 is available on OpenSUSE if you use Tumbleweed, as it is a rolling release distribution like Arch Linux. However, if you use OpenSUSE Leap, 3.0 isn\u2019t as accessible.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, you\u2019ll need to open up a terminal window and update the system to get the Blender updates installed. You can open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it that way.<\/p>\n
With the terminal window open, run the zypper refresh<\/strong> command to refresh your OpenSUSE software repositories.<\/p>\n
\nsudo zypper refresh\n<\/pre>\n
With the software repositories refreshed, you can install the latest version of Blender (3.0) on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed by running the zypper update<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo zypper update\n<\/pre>\n
If you do not already have Blender, you can install it using the zypper install<\/strong> command down below to get it working.<\/p>\n
\nsudo zypper install blender\n<\/pre>\n
Flatpak instructions<\/h2>\n
Blender 3.0 is available as a Flatpak. However, if you\u2019d like to install it on your computer using Flatpak, you\u2019ll have to set up the Flatpak runtime. To do that, follow our in-depth guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
After setting up the Flatpak runtime on your computer, use the two flatpak<\/strong> commands below to get the latest Blender (3.0) release working only on your Linux computer.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
\nflatpak install flathub org.blender.Blender\n<\/pre>\n
Snap instructions<\/h2>\n
The latest Blender (3.0) is available in the Snap package store. To get it working, you\u2019ll need first to get Snap package runtime set up on your computer. Set up the Snap package runtime on your system by following the guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
After setting up the runtime, you can install the latest version of Blender by running the snap install<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo snap install blender\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
