How do I install Blender?

To install Blender, download the appropriate package for your platform. The Windows version comes with an optional self-extracting installer, for other operating systems you can simply unpack the compressed file to the location of your choice.

Provided the Blender binary is in the original extracted directory, Blender will run straight out of the box. No system libraries or system preferences are altered.

Supported Platforms

Blender is available for Windows XP through 8, Mac OSX 10.6 and above, and Linux. Blender uses OpenGL for drawing the entire interface. This means it’s best if you use a graphics card that is OpenGL-compliant.
The Blender developer team welcomes all efforts to bypass issues with specific configurations, but we can only officially support the platforms that are in use by active developers. Check the wiki for a list of supported platforms
