<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>If you are a Linux user, it is recommended that you download <strong>Blender</strong> from their website, and <strong>NOT install via a Package Manager.</strong>
<strong>Blender</strong> has elected to support only Python 3.11 for Extensions, so Fabex is packaged with dependencies that are only compatible with Python 3.11.
Since many distros will allow you to install <strong>Blender</strong> and Python separately this can lead to version mismatch and a broken Extension.</p>
<p><em>For details on how to work around this issue, see the FAQ.</em></p>

<h3>For Developers<a class="headerlink" href="#for-developers" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h3>
<p>If you intend to contribute to the <strong>Fabex</strong> codebase, or if you want to modify the Extension to suit your own needs, you may find that the installation method outlined above is not the best for rapid iteration and updates.</p>
<p>For these users we recommend cloning the repository from Github, then creating a symlink (alias, shortcut) for the <strong>cam</strong> folder and moving that into <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/advanced/blender_directory_layout.html">Blenders Extension directory.</a></p>
<p>For more details, see the <a class="reference internal" href="developers.html"><span class="std std-doc">Developers Guide</span></a> and the <a class="reference internal" href="faq.html"><span class="std std-doc">FAQ</span></a>.</p>
