Blender error after install

[kalexandriabond]

after i call make, i get this error (this is on MacOS Big Sur, version 11.2.3):

configFile=config.py /Applications/Blender/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender --background --python blendCreateSnapshot.py /bin/sh: 1: /Applications/Blender/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender: not found Makefile:2: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 127

Is there possibly a dependency/step missing in the instructions for installation using Docker?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, this means that the Blender application is not at that path. Are you sure that you installed Blender 2.79b (https://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.79/). If that is not the issue, then could you please locate where the blender application is on your machine. Once you find the location, you can replace the path in the makefile ('/Applications/Blender/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender') with the path on your computer.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ping us again if you need any more help.

Best, Vedu

@kmbond I've ran into the same problem. You need to edit the MakeFile in brain-painter home directory and provide the path to the blender executable.

I've spent some time figuring out how to configure blender and brain-painter. There will some other steps not so obvious, at least for me.

Here I've tried to record the step-by-step video instruction for my colleagues, hope it will help you too: https://youtu.be/rzGb40PUVX8

Wow! Thanks for making a video tutorial @nosmokingsurfer. It looks awesome :)

@nosmokingsurfer that's fantastic! We will link your video to the main install instructions.

Also, I was just thinking. Would it work if we create a zip archive with blender 2.79, for Ubuntu x64, with the right python packages? And offer this blender for download instead? And perhaps do the same for MacOS and Windows?

@razvanmarinescu I think it will, at least for Ubuntu. You can try mine from the video it is already with right packages installed: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HBENRhMB3UPLQOBLmn6mDZEgU33RD-og/view?usp=sharing
