How to install Blender on Ubuntu 17.04
How to install Blender on Ubuntu 17.04
Blender is a professional free and open-source 3D computer graphics application. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation. Blender is well suited to individuals and small studios that benefit from its unified pipeline and responsive development process. This tutorial covers the installation procedure of Blender on Ubuntu 17.04.
Installation procedure
To start the installation procedure, add the repo by executing the following command.
root@linuxhelp1:~# add-apt-repository ppa:thomas-schiex/blender
A revival of Irie Shinsuke' s PPA: Blender is compiled with all bells and whistles (OSL, OpenCollada, OpenVDB, OSD, jemalloc & precompiled CUDA kernels) and adapted to Ubuntu (python, ffmpeg, ilmbase, openEXR, Ubuntu packages are used directly to avoid redundancy).
If you find this PPA useful, you can offer me a coffee or a beer at

Yes, in 3 years, 20 persons/companies did it: $(5+10+5+5+5+5+10+5+10+3+5+ 4+10+5+10+10+10)+&euro (50.79+3.64+13.37). I enjoyed the drinks! (updated March 17, 2017).
Two (conflicting) versions of blender are provided:
- blender is the last active tag of blender git repository, with only releases or releases candidate, focusing on stability. The blender version is followed by the last commit number and hash. The contrib addons are always included.
- blender-edge lives on the edge: is the last commit of the master branch of blender git repository. The first number is the number of commits since the beginning of blender git, followed by the commit hash.
For CUDA to work, add the blender user(s) to the ' video' group through:
sudo adduser < user> video
It is also useful to install the nvidia-modprobe package (which is not a dependency because it depends on your hardware).
This PPA is usually updated every Friday (except while I' m on vacations). While I try to automatize things heavily, there are often changes in Blender (or Ubuntu) that require non negligible manual intervention. If you see issues, please contact me with suggestions (but do not expect an instantaneous reaction :-)
