# '''GLOBAL INSTALLATION:''' Place the folder "addon/io_scs_tools" in your profile to the location "\<user_profile>/blender/<version_number>/scripts/addons/". Addon will be used by any Blender installation of specified version.
→1. Copying Files
Before installation make sure you have downloaded SCS Blender Tools from the [[Documentation/Tools/SCS Blender Tools/Download|Download]] page or via cloning (''if you are familiar with GIT, you can also clone the [https://github.com/SCSSoftware/BlenderTools GIT repository] instead of downloading the whole package'').
=== 1. Copying Files ===
You can use one the following installation possibilities:
# '''GLOBAL INSTALLATION (recommended):''' Addon will be accessible by any Blender installation of specified version. Place the folder "addon/io_scs_tools" in your profile to the location "/<user_profile>/blender/<version_number>/scripts/addons/":
#* Under Windows that would be "''%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\<version>\scripts\addons''"
#* Under Linux that would be "''/home/<user_name>/.config/blender/<version>/scripts/addons''"
# '''LOCAL INSTALLATION:''' Place the folder "addon/io_scs_tools" to your installation of Blender to the location "/<Blender_installation>/<version_number>/scripts/addons/". The Addon will be used only by this particular installation of Blender.
# '''INSTALLATION TO THE USER DIRECTORY:''' In "User Preferences" within "File" section is the "Scripts" item where you can set the path to any Addon location. This way, for example, you can use any Addon directly from data repository and your tools will always be of the current version in all of your Blender installations. It is necessary for the Addon folder to be placed inside a folder named "addons_contrib" and Blender needs to be directed to its parent folder. Therefore the resulting path to the folder Addons should look like "/<folder>/addons_contrib/io_scs_tools", but the path under Scripts will be only "/<folder>".
