 ===== Install ===== ===== Install =====
  
-Installing Yafaray ​broadly requires, like other renderers, ​the installation ​of the Yafaray base packageand then the plugin that will make it useful in your application of choice (probably ​[[blender]]).+Installing Yafaray ​is heavily dependent upon the version ​of Blender you runso check on [[http://​yafaray.org]] to see what the latest version released for your version of Blender that you run.
  
-To get the basic Yafaray package installed, install ''​yafaray''​ from [[http://​slackbuilds.org]]. ​You may as well install the Python bindings, as well, whether or not you think you need it:+If the version available on [[http://​slackbuilds.org]] ​is current, install from thereIf not, install ​from the Yafaray site.
  
-<​code>​ +Yafaray offers a ''​.zip''​ file for 64bit LinuxAssuming you are installing for systemwide use:
-BUILDPYTHON=yes ​./yafaray.SlackBuild +
-</​code>​+
  
-Once the dependencies are installed, install ​the ''​yafaray-blender'' ​plugin from [[http://slackbuilds.org]].+  - Download ​the Yafaray zip file. 
 +  - Unzip the file. 
 +  ​Move the unzipped file to ''/​opt/blender/2.xx/​scripts/​addons/''​.
  
  
-==== Blender ​====+===== Usage =====
  
-The default behaviour of the Yafaray SlackBuild is to install the Blender ​plugin into the standard ''/​usr/​share''​ directory, ​and then link the plugin ​to where SlackBuilds.org actually installs Blender''/​opt/​blender''​.+The Blender ​can be activated ​and used the same as any other Blender ​plugin:
  
-Unless you have customised your install locations, all of this is acceptable and you don'​t ​need to do anything.+  - Activate the Blender plugin in the **User Preferences** panel → **Render**. (There ​is no need to install the plugin as you might other Blender addons, because you have already placed it in the correct location.
 +  - Make it your active renderer in the *Info* panel
