A holistic microclimate model

This page guides you through the process of installing the ENVI-met4Blender plugin

1. Download the zip-folder here and keep it for later
2. Unzip the folder in a folder of your choice
3. Install the current Blender version

1. Start Blender with admin rights
2. (Optional: Click on Window-Menu and click “Toggle System Console” - The script will print its reports here)
3. Open the scripting-tab (1) → Click “Open” (2) → Navigate to the unzipped git-folder and load the “install_script.py”-file (3)
4. Run the script: Either Alt+P or click the play button in the top row of the Scripting menu. Note: If you open the Blender system console you can check if the installation was successful. You should either see something like “Requirement already satisfied” or “Successfully installed cftime-x-x-x netCDF4-x-x-x numpy-x.x.x. The script also prints all currently installed python-packages. Thus, you can double-check if the installation was successful.
5. Restart Blender

Install the Add-On itself by following these steps:

1. Go to “Edit” → “Preferences..”
   
2. Click on “Add-ons” → Click on the small arrow (1) → Click on “Install from Disk…” (2)
3. Select the zip you downloaded from the repo “ENVI-met4Blender”.
4. Click “Install Add-on”
5. Activate the ENVI-met Importer by checking the checkbox (If the Add-on is not automatically selected, search for “ENVI-met Importer”).
6. The installation is finished.
