problem with blender add-on instalation

[inertdruid]

Hi! I tried to install the add-on, but I can't find it in the add-on list after installation to enable it. Can you help me?

Had the same issue - The solution is as follows: extract the zip in some other folder and zip the content again with the same name. One would say all *.zip are the same but it turns out they're not.

[stuffmatic]

@TheBlues55 are you downloading the zip with Safari by any chance?

[inertdruid]

@TheBlues55 I tried, but it still doesn't work!

[stuffmatic]

@inertdruid What operating system are you running? What browser are you using to download the file?

[TheBlues55]

Maybe I didn't mentioned the following - the zip from the git repository contains a folder named "fspy-blender master ... something" You need to zip the insides of this folder NOT the folder itself so that when the new zip is opened the contents are not in a single folder. I'm using windows 10

having the same problem and ive zipde the insides and the folder its self still not working. i use windows 10

[stuffmatic]

You are downloading the add on from the releases page right?

It would be great if someone could attach a zip archive that won't install so I can have a look at it.

@stuffmatic I've downloaded the 1.0.3 from https://github.com/stuffmatic/fSpy/releases and it is not installing. just after extracting, going into "..\fSpy-Blender-1.0.3\fSpy-Blender-1.0.3" , zipping this and using the new zip, I am able to install it via blenders preferences tab. I think your zip simply contains one hierarchy level too much :P

fSpy-Blender-master.zip

[bimmer711]

This is the one that won't allow you to install it

[stuffmatic]

@bimmer711 Ah, that's the zip file you get when you download the entire repository. The add-on should be downloaded from the releases page as mentioned in the readme.

Hello, i was trying for ages to install fSpy add on in blender 2.8 but i cant. I am using Windows 10, Google chome browser. That is the file that i am trying to install fSpy-Blender-1.0.3.zip

[stuffmatic]

@Sigvaldas are you getting any error messages?

[Sigvaldas]

Thanks for help. Today I woke up and everything was good. It was installed. Maybe i just needed to restart my pc.

Just installed Blender 2.82

Addon 1.0.3 wouldn't install - zip file install

1.0.2 worked - zip file install

[baldyman01]

Same here. Ubuntu 19.10 64 bit. 1.0.3 does not appear in the menu to be enabled when installed from ZIP. No errors appear to be thrown that I can see.

1.0.2 works perfectly as expected.

[stuffmatic]

@baldyman01 I'm guessing you're using Blender 2.8?

[stuffmatic]

@S-W-X are you getting any error messages? What's your operating system?

[baldyman01]

Sorry, that would have been helpful wouldn't it?

Ubuntu 19.10 64 bit

Blender:

version: 2.82 (sub 7), branch: master, commit date: 2020-03-12 05:06, hash: 375c7dc4caf4, type: Release build date: 2020-03-12, 05:30:40

The only message I get is -

I can't find a log of any description for Blender and there's nothing in syslog.

The contents of '/pete/.config/blender/2.82/scripts/addons' is -

13th is when I installed 1.0.2, 14th is when I tried 1.0.3 again just now. Blender itself does not see 1.0.3 at all.

Modules Installed () from 'D:\kurulum\Blender\fSpy-Blender-master.zip' into 'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.82\scripts\addons' Addon does not appear in your library. Blender 2.82 Windows 10

[stuffmatic]

@cem57 Make sure you download the add-on from the releases section https://github.com/stuffmatic/fSpy-Blender#1-download-the-add-on

[cem57]

It does not appear on the screen

[stuffmatic]

@cem57 It looks like you downloaded the entire git repo, which is most likely the problem. Download the add-on from here instead: https://github.com/stuffmatic/fSpy-Blender/releases/latest

[cem57]

Modules Installed (fspy_blender) from 'D:\kurulum\Blender\fSpy-Blender-1.0.3.zip' into 'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.82\scripts\addons' This worked. Thank you for your help.

[LorenzWieseke]

I'm having a similar problem with my addon. If I download it form releases and it has a version number in the zip its giving me an error on activation, if I go inside, rename and zip it, it will work :

Any ideas ?

Had the same issue - The solution is as follows: extract the zip in some other folder and zip the content again with the same name. One would say all *.zip are the same but it turns out they're not.
