Technical requirements

Besides Blender 3.3+ or in this case, Blender 3.3 (https://www.blender.org/download/lts/3-3), you will require the following free tools:

• Visual Studio Code, available at https://code.visualstudio.com/Download. Version 1.66 is used in this book, and is available at https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_66
• Git (optional), found at https://git-scm.com/downloads

You are encouraged to write your own code; the examples for this chapter can be found at the following URL: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Python-Scripting-in-Blender/tree/main/ch1.

Since it is a free, open source software, there are plenty of ways to install Blender. We are going to look at the most common install solutions.
