Installation
============
.. hint::
The process is the same for linux, mac and windows.
1. Download `LATEST build <https://gitlab.com/slumber/multi-user/-/jobs/artifacts/develop/download?job=build>`_ or `STABLE build <https://gitlab.com/slumber/multi-user/-/jobs/artifacts/master/download?job=build>`_.
2. Run blender as administrator (to allow python dependencies auto-installation).
3. Install **multi-user.zip** from your addon preferences.
Once the addon is succesfully installed, I strongly recommend you to follow the :ref:`quickstart`
tutorial.
.. _update-version:
Updates
=======
Multi-User has a built-in auto-update function.
1. Navigate to Edit >> Preferences pane in Blender, and go to the 'Add-ons' section.
2. Search 'multi-user', select the 'Update' tab, click 'Auto-check for Update' and choose the frequency you'd like.
3. Make sure to click the three bars in the bottom-left, and save this to your preferences (userpref.blend).
Sometimes you'd like to perform manual update, or even side-grade or rollback your multi-user version. Perhaps you are trying out new features from the 'develop' branch in a test session.
1. Click on 'Check now for multiuser update'. Multi-user will now find new versions
