Blender Executable file Tutorials for simple objects like Railway wagons etc
Further to above thread. I have downloaded Blender 2.92.   Instruction readme says to right click the executable file.
What is this file called and what extension ?  on Linux Mint 17.       Should I be using 2.80 instead? Where is 2.80 to download (comes up with 2.92 when searching.
Thanks
Executables on *nix-like Operating Systems in General
*nix-like operating systems usually don't use file extensions to determine if a file is executable or not. Instead they rely on file system flags and file headers (for example ELF headers for binaries and !# - aka Shebang - for shell scripts).
Without going too deep into technical details:
If you download Blender for Linux from blender.org and extract it on any GNU/Linux based operating system, all the necessary flags should be already set. You execute Blender by clicking (single/double depending on your UI settings) on the file called &quot;blender&quot;.
