Installing bqt as an addon means less coding for you.

  • The bqt startup code automatically runs on Blender startup.
  • You can disable bqt by disabling the addon.

You can either install through plugget or manually install the addon and its dependencies.

Plugget (recommended)

  1. Download the plugget blender addon by clicking on the link.
  2. Find the install file in your downloads folder.
  3. Double-clicking the file will automatically open it in Blender.
  4. Run the scripts inside to install the addon.
  5. Find the Plugget addon by going to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.
  6. Type bqt into the search box and click search.
  7. Click install. This installs the bqt addon and all its dependencies.
