Is there a PPA for the latest Blender version?

  • 772

I am interested in trying out the Blender 2.54 beta, but don't have the time or patience to download and install all of the dependencies for it and compile it myself.

Is there a PPA somewhere that I can use to obtain a pre-compiled package for it?

ppa blender

    You can also use https://launchpad.net/~irie/+archive/blender which is another alternative to the 2.5.x and the 2.4.x

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:irie/blender && sudo apt-get update

    For Blender 2.68.x - sudo apt-get install blender

    For Blender 2.4.x - sudo apt-get install blender2.4

    Please note:

    IRIE's PPA has not been updated for 6 months now, I have setup a new one here:

    https://launchpad.net/~thomas-schiex/+archive/ubuntu/blender

    You can install Blender 2.73rc1 and update as follows:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thomas-schiex/blender
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install blender

  2. I've managed to find a PPA for version 2.53 beta:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cheleb/blender-svn && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install blender
