This guide will show you how to download and install the [Wolvenkit Blender IO Suite](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/modding-tools/wolvenkit-blender-io-suite.md) from github source. You only need this if you want the newest features and fixes.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Unless you either **know what you're doing** or have been **told by someone in the** [**discord support channel**](https://discord.com/channels/717692382849663036/1033120509216444550) to install the current development version, you should not be here. Head to [Installing the Wolvenkit Blender Plugin](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/modding-tools/wolvenkit-blender-io-suite/installing-the-wolvenkit-blender-plugin.md) -> [Installing the Wolvenkit Blender Plugin](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/modding-tools/wolvenkit-blender-io-suite/installing-the-wolvenkit-blender-plugin.md#step-0-download-the-plugin).
{% endhint %}

## Step 1: Download from github

4. You should have downloaded a file called `Cyberpunk-Blender-add-on-main.zip`.

## Step 2: Finding the install location

### 2.1: Find the correct install path

1. Open the Blender Preferences (Toolbar: `Edit` -> `Preferences`) and select the `AddOns` tab
2. Search for `cyberpunk`
3. See the current install path under `File`. It should be something like this:

```
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\VERSION\scripts\addons\i_scene_cp77_gltf\__init__.py
```

4. Everything before the `__init__.py` is the path to the current install (replace VERSION with your Blender version, e.g. `4.4`)
5. Open an Windows Explorer there\
   \&#xNAN;*As a shortcut, you can press `Windows+R`, paste `%APPDATA%\Blender Foundation\Blender` into the box, and press Enter.*

### 2.2: Delete the old install

1. Navigate your Windows Explorer to the path you found in 2.3\
   (Shortcut: `Windows+R`, type `%APPDATA%`, confirm, then browse from there)
2. Delete the whole `i_scene_cp77_gltf` folder.
3. Leave the explorer window open, you need it for Step 3!

### Step 3: Extract the download

1. Open `Cyberpunk-Blender-add-on-main.zip` that you downloaded in step 1.
2. Find the folder named `i_scene_cp77_gltf`. This is the blender add-on:

3. Copy or drag the folder to the `addons` folder from step 2.2.

## Step 3: Restart Blender

After restarting Blender, you now have the **very latest** version of the plugin. If you want anything more recent, you have to become a developer yourself.
