Hello! Tell me please if it will be possible to install the ProRender 2.3 plug-in blender on other versions of Linux ???? Installation file intended for Ubuntu only. I use manjaro((

Hello! could you send what type of error you get with installation in the terminal?

Hello! Posted below.

yes its a pyton error, even if it sais that its for ubuntu 18.xx i had similar issues with it installing it on ubuntu 18/19, pop OS, mostly debian based systems. at the moment i`m on kde neon and it seems to work fine, back when i was distro hopping some worked some didnt and there was nothing i could have done. My opinion is that its beccause of how the disto handdles pyton and on what version it comes with out of the box.

I like a fresh version of python 3.8.2-1. Interesting developers with these will do something? There are no sources for the git hub; there is nothing to fix manually? I honestly do not understand why so mock linux users. It may be easier to embed the Pro Render in a blender and distribute it as a separate version, as oktanRender does for example.

It can work on other versions also, depending on the pyton version and proper driers suport, open cl is a must for RPR and amdgpu-pro

Well. This is what the terminal issues at startup.

after you downloaded the installer set it as an executable file in properties

then installing it using the terminal with sudo drag installer in here and then copy the file path were the blender executable is, just the folder file you double click to install, after you insert a space between the dragged installer and the file path.

Also if your blender doesnt recognize your open cl for cycles your wasting time becasue neither will RPR.
