Summary

This guide will show you how to download and install the Wolvenkit Blender IO Suite from github source.

Unless you either know what you're doing or have been told by someone in the discord support channel to install the current development version, you should stick to the release version.

Step 1: Download from github

1. Head to the Wolvenkit Blender IO suite's github repository

2. Click the green Code button

3. Click "Download ZIP" at the bottom

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.

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.

Please remember to report any bugs you find — either in the discord support channel, or by opening an issue on github (you need an account for this).

Remember to include all necessary information:

• The exact version you installed

• Unless you can always cause the exact bug, the .blend file with your problem

Happy modding!
