Set up a clean virtual envirionment with Python 3.7 for development (optional).

python -m virtualenv cioblender.venv
. ./cioblender.venv/bin/activate

Install development dependencies

pip install -r requirements_dev.txt

Build and install from this directory into to a convenient location for testing.


pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt --target=$HOME/ConductorDev

python $HOME/ConductorDev/cioblender/post_install.py

When you install from the file requirements.txt, the dependency on ciocore is specified as a local sibling of this project, meaning you can develop ciocore and cioblender in parallel.

The post_install.py script writes the conductor.mod file to your Blender modules directory. Check the output of the command to see where this is.
