help me to install and run version 2.9 in Ubuntu How can I install Blender 2.9 in Ubuntu linux?
I installed the blender 2.9 file and extract it then when I tried open it there was so many files so I ran the file which is named 'blender'. I have tried to run the file multiple times, but have failed each time.
I also had a older version of blender 2.79 which I can use, but I need to use blender 2.9 for my animation project because it is the version my friends are using.
You have to make a file executable before running it.I will explain two ways to do that here.
Gui way

Right click on blender
click on properties
click on permissions tab
check make as executable box

now apply your changes and run blender

command line way

navigate to the location were you have extracted blender via a file manager.

right click on empty space and select open terminal here.Note open terminal option may be in different sub menu for you.




now execute the following commands one by one

  chmod +x blender
  ./blender
