Installing Python FBX

We assume that you have already installed and configured Python 2.6 or Python 3.1 on your computer. Let’s call the directory where you installed Python yourPythonPath.

To install Python FBX:

1. Follow the instructions of Installing FBX SDK for your development platform (see Installing and Configuring).

   Let’s call the directory where you installed FBX SDK <yourFBXSDKpath>.

2. Determine the directory name (<Pythonxxxxxx>) of the version of Python FBX that you wish to install (see Platforms supported).
3. Copy the contents of <yourFBXSDKpath>\lib\<Pythonxxxxxx>\ to yourPythonPath\Lib\site-packages\.
4. Optional: Copy the sample programs for Python FBX to a suitable location. The sample programs are in <yourFBXSDKpath>\examples\Python\.
5. Optional: Copy the documentation for FBX SDK to a suitable location. The documentation is in <yourFBXSDKpath>\doc.
6. Optional: Delete <yourFBXSDKpath> and its contents. If you have copied all the directories mentioned above, you do not need the rest of the distribution for FBX SDK.
