Usage

Minimal example:

python BlenderUpdaterCLI.py -b 2.90.0 -p PATH

Required flags:

• -p PATH (add a valid path where you want the downloaded archive to be extracted to)
• -b BLENDER (Desired Blender version - for example -b 2.90.0)

Additional flag:

• -o OPERATINGSYSTEM (windows or linux)

If this flag is omitted, the script autodetects the OS it's currently running on.

Optional flags:

• -r runs Blender after finishing
• -y installs even when version on server matches last installed version
• -n exits if last installed version matches version to be downloaded
• -k keeps temporary archive download.
• -t TEMP (Temporary file path. "./blendertemp" is the default. Unless -k specified it will be removed at the end of installation)
• -h shows help text
• -v shows version of the tool

Verbose example:

python BlenderUpdaterCLI.py -p C:\Tools\Blender -b 2.90.0 -o windows -n -r

This will download the latest build of Blender 2.90.0 for 64bit Windows and copy it to C:\Tools\Blender
