add. note and dl link re Blender version
{{Note|The latest version of Blender that is compatible with Tools V1.11 is 2.78 (available [https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.78 here]).}}
Before installation make sure you have downloaded SCS Blender Tools from the [[Documentation/Tools/SCS Blender Tools/Download|Download]] page or via cloning the [https://github.com/SCSSoftware/BlenderTools GIT repository].
# '''LOCAL INSTALLATION (recommended):''' 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.
# '''GLOBAL INSTALLATION:''' 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 <tt>%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\<version>\scripts\addons</tt>). Addon will be used by any Blender installation of specified version.
# '''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>".
