Installation
Installing Blender
FAARE is designed to operate with Blender LTS 3.6 and assumes Blender is installed in the /opt folder. Below, a brief set of instructions are provided to install Blender.
sudo apt install -y libxrender-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxfixes-dev libxi-dev libxkbcommon-dev libsm-dev
sudo mkdir /opt
cd /opt
sudo wget https://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/blender/release/Blender3.6/blender-3.6.7-linux-x64.tar.xz
sudo tar -xvf blender-3.6.7-linux-x64.tar.xz
sudo rm blender-3.6.7-linux-x64.tar.xz
Before proceeding to use Blender, make sure that CUDA support is enabled and that the correct GPUs are selected. If you use Blender on a remote server, you need to open the Blender
PyPi
First, make sure the required dependencies are installed
