How to Install luxrender in ubuntu 13.04

hi i downloaded .tar.bz2 file from Luxrender site, i extracted the file to addons folder but lux render not showing in addons list.
Anyone guide me to install luxrender.

You have to copy only the addon folder to blender not the whole file.
/lux-v1.2.1-x86_64-sse2-OpenCL/luxblend-2.6/src/luxrender

All described here:

Cheers, mib.

Thank You mib2berlin , now got permission denied error.

Hm, hard to say without the error message, where is your blender directory?

Cheers, mib.

Blender directory is in Downloads folder.


This is the terminal output

Blender quit

Hi AnandhaRaja, I am sorry but can´t help.
It is may better to ask on Luxrender forum where all the dev´s hang around.

Cheers, mib.

Your Blender output directory is set to /tmp, so that is where the scene files end up. There is evidently a permissions issue of some kind with storing them there. Change your output directory to somewhere else, like your current project folder.

@J_the_Ninja thanks for your reply, i stored the lux-v1.2.1-x86_64-sse2-OpenCL folder in tmp directory after that worked fine but after reboot the directory deleted automatically now i stored the lux-v1.2.1-x86_64-sse2-OpenCL in home its working fine now.

ThankYou mib2berlin & J_the_Ninja
