How can I install Blender 2.9 in Ubuntu linux?

I installed the blender 2.9 file and extract it then when I tried open it there was so many files so I ran the file which is named 'blender'. I have tried to run the file multiple times, but have failed each time.

I also had a older version of blender 2.79 which I can use, but I need to use blender 2.9 for my animation project because it is the version my friends are using.

    Most 2.9 files are compatible with 2.8x. – Leander Oct 31 '20 at 18:04

    Just download the file from blender.org, uncompress the file, open the directory and run the file named blender. – susu Oct 31 '20 at 18:27
  • Ubuntu has a snap store, download blender from there, make sure is the one made by the blender foundation. Just download and install like a regular app on a phone – Emir May 27 '21 at 00:15

You have to make a file executable before running it.I will explain two ways to do that here.

Gui way

  • Right click on blender
  • click on properties
  • click on permissions tab
  • check make as executable box
    enter image description here
  • now apply your changes and run blender

command line way

  • navigate to the location were you have extracted blender via a file manager.

  • right click on empty space and select open terminal here.Note open terminal option may be in different sub menu for you.

enter image description here

  • now execute the following commands one by one
  chmod +x blender
  ./blender
