# Installation

## Blender 4.2+

Starting with Blender 4.2, Sollumz can now be installed as an extension from our repository <https://repo.sollumz.org/>.

First, add `https://repo.sollumz.org/` as a remote repository by navigating to `Preferences` > `Get Extensions` > `Repositories` > `+` > `Add Remote Repository`:

Next, search for "Sollumz". You will see two available versions to install:

1. **Sollumz**: The official release version, identical to what can be downloaded from the release page.
2. **Sollumz (Development)**: The latest development build, which may be unstable. Use this version to test new features and updates, and provide feedback to help us improve.

Choose your preferred version and click `Install`:

Once installed, you can easily update to newer versions directly within Blender. You will see an `Update` button whenever new versions are available.
