Installation of sverchok for Blender 2.8+

Created by: zeffii

UPDATE: this instruction is currently obsolete. Now Sverchok's master branch contains the Sverchok for Blender 2.8x, so you can install it with a standard procedure described in the README.

If you wish to install Sverchok for Blender 2.79, the instruction is in the wiki.

use a recent version of Blender 2.8+ , get it from https://builder.blender.org

The following instructions should get sverchok running

download the zip from here
unpack the zip somewhere (desktop for now)
the resulting Folder/(with content) will be sverchok-b28_prelease_master, you rename that just to sverchok.
drag the resulting folder into your 2.80/scripts/addons_contrib, so you get
then enable sverchok.

PS

if for some lame reason you downloaded a version of the Blender 2.8+ nightly build that has a old/broken numpy package (will be located in /2.81/Python/lib/site-packages/numpy ), then you might get a rather unhelpful error message while enabling the Sverchok add-on. The message will mention something about uninstalling numpy. don't do that.

Just delete numpy from the 2.81 site-packages folder (as shown a few lines up).
copy over a working numpy from an older Blender nightly, something like /2.80/Python/lib/site-packages/numpy.

Sverchok should now enable without a problem.
