Is there anyway to install blender on ubuntu without root access? I need to install blender on server which I don't have root access, is there any portable version of blender for ubuntu or any way to install it without root access? please help me if you know.
Just download the latest Blender for Linux from blender.org/download (currently 2.78c for Linux 64bit), unpack the tar.bz2 file

tar xjf blender-2.78c-linux-glibc219-x86_64.tar.bz2


and run the "blender" executable from inside the unpacked folder

cd blender-2.78c-linux-glibc219-x86_64
./blender &lt;options&gt;
