35 Hi Jacques,
36
37 it is - in opposite to quite a few other programs - qyite simple:
38
39 Download the archive from https://www.blender.org/download/
40
41 unpack the archive and execute the blender application inside.
42
43 I myself use the daily builds from builder.blender.org. These
44 are the bleeding edge versions (upcoming 2.82) and they are NOT
45 production ready -- but often more stable as exspected.
46
47 If you want an installation system wide, you can put the unpacked
48 archive to - say - /usr/local/lib/. and create a symbolic link
49 from /usr/local/lib/blender-<something>/blender to
50 /ysr/local/bin/blender.
51
52 HTH!
53 Happy blending!
54 Cheers!
