Installation

This guide is about installing the developer version of Pyblish, and how to get it up and running with the integration for Autodesk Maya.

Currently, Pyblish only works with Maya 2014 and upwards.

Installing Pyblish for Maya

# Pyblish for Maya is a regular Python package on PyPI
$ pip install pyblish-maya

Until we've found a good way of including this next step into the installation via pip, there is one more thing you need to do before you can run Pyblish from within Maya.

Add the path to "pythonpath" to your PYTHONPATH environment variable.

# For example
$ setx PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;c:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pyblish_maya\pythonpath
