About Morse cannot recognize the Blender.

Thanks for taking the time to fill an issue with MORSE!

I am installing the morse today again. And I am getting stuck in the step when I check the morse. It shows it cannot find the excutable blender. It shows like below: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% eduroam-164-210:~ jj$ morse check

• Checking up your environment...
• MORSE has only been tested on Linux. It may work on other operating systems as well, but without any guarantee
• Found MORSE libraries in '/usr/local/Cellar/morse-simulator/1.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/morse/blender'. Alright.
• Trying to figure out a prefix from the script location...
• Default scene found. The prefix seems ok. Using it.
• Setting $MORSE_ROOT environment variable to default prefix [/usr/local/]
• Could not find a correct Blender executable, neither in the path or in MORSE prefix. Blender >= 2.65 is required to run MORSE. You can alternatively set the $MORSE_BLENDER environment variable to point to a specific Blender executable
• Could not find Blender executable
• Your environment is not correctly setup to run MORSE! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% My blender version is 2.76b, and I have found a question solution to this: echo 'export MORSE_BLENDER={path_to_blender_executable}/blender' >> ~/.bashrc So I added two commands: echo 'export MORSE_BLENDER=/Applications/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender' >> ~/.bashrc

And MORSE_BLENDER=/Applications/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender However, I still got the same result: My Blender still cannot be found by the Morse.

Any suggestions?

• MORSE version: 1.4
• _Blender version:_2.76b
• Python version: 3.4.2

are you using bash ? to check if the variable is set up correctly, you can type the following in a terminal:

➤ echo $MORSE_BLENDER 
/path/to/blender
➤ $MORSE_BLENDER --version
Blender 2.72 (sub 0)

If it works for you, I'll push to the main repository. Thanks

I'm getting the same issue with MAC OS X, python 3.5.1 and blender 2.77.

Could not find a correct Blender executable, neither in the path or in MORSE
prefix. Blender >= 2.65 is required to run MORSE.
You can alternatively set the $MORSE_BLENDER environment variable to point to
a specific Blender executable

was this tested?
