In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing Blender on Deepin 23. Blender is a powerful, open-source 3D creation suite that supports the entire 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing, motion tracking, and video editing.

Why Install Blender on Deepin 23?

Deepin 23 is a beautiful and user-friendly Linux distribution, and pairing it with Blender can create a robust environment for 3D artists and designers. By following this guide, you'll be able to harness the power of Blender on your Deepin system, opening up a world of creative possibilities.

Installation Process

We'll be using Flatpak to install Blender. Flatpak is a next-generation technology for building and distributing desktop applications on Linux. It allows us to install the latest version of Blender easily and keep it updated.

Here are the steps we'll follow:

1. Install Flatpak
2. Add the Flathub repository
3. Install Blender
4. Restart the computer
5. Launch Blender

Step-by-Step Instructions

Open your terminal and run the following commands:

1. Install Flatpak

sudo apt install flatpak

2. Add the Flathub Repository

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

3. Install Blender

sudo flatpak install flathub org.blender.Blender

After running these commands, restart your computer to ensure all changes take effect. Once your system is back up, you should be able to find and launch Blender from your application menu.
