See also the Blender manual on installing add-ons.

Installing from a Release ZIP

Download the latest release from the Releases page. It should be a ZIP file with a name like io_scene_gltf_ksons-X.Y.Z.zip.

Open Blender and select File > User Preferences (or Edit > user Preferences if that doesn't exist). Change to the Add-ons tab and select Install Add-on from File... at the bottom of the screen (or Install... at the top of the screen if that doesn't exist). Pick the ZIP file you downloaded. The add-on is now installed.

You still need to enable it. In the Add-ons tab, put 'gltf' in the search box and tick the checkbox next to Import-Export: KSons' glTF 2.0 Importer.

Installing from Source

Obtain the source code, eg.

git clone https://github.com/ksons/gltf-blender-importer.git

You can create a ZIP to install with the method above by running the script make_package.py. A ZIP file io_scene_gltf_ksons.zip will be created in the dist/ folder.

Otherwise, find your Blender add-on directory. It is most commonly:

  • On Windows, C:\Users\<YOUR USER NAME>\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\<YOUR BLENDER VERSION>\scripts\addons\
  • On Linux, /home/<YOUR USER NAME>/.config/blender/<YOUR BLENDER VERSION>/scripts/addons/
  • On OSX, /Users/<YOUR USER NAME>/Library/Application Support/Blender/<YOUR BLENDER VERSION>/scripts/addons/

Alternatively, open Blender, switch to the Python console, and enter print(bpy.utils.user_resource('SCRIPTS', 'addons')) to have it printed for you.

Then copy (or, for easier development, symbolically link) the io_scene_gltf folder from the addons folder in this repo to your Blender add-on directory.

Finally enable the add-on the same way as above.
