### Note

Remember to check that your python executable is the same as blender.

```python

import sys

print(sys.executable)

```

Write this in Blender Scripting Console and your Python Console.

To install python requirements, I needed to use `sudo` prefix. 

## Development

After Installing the addon :

1. Go to where the addon is installed :

    - Windows : **a path that looks like** `C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.91\scripts\addons`

    - Linux : `~/.config/blender/2.91/scripts/addons`

2. Edit the code.

3. When you return to Blender, you need to reload the scripts. The easiest is to F3 and search for "Reload scripts".
