# Build a Blender conda package for Deadline Cloud
<a name="examples-conda-blender"></a>

The samples repository includes conda recipes for the following Blender versions and add-ons. Each recipe builds for Linux 64-bit and Windows 64-bit, and downloads source archives from the Blender Foundation:
+ [blender-4.2](https://github.com/aws-deadline/deadline-cloud-samples/tree/mainline/conda_recipes/blender-4.2)
+ [blender-4.3](https://github.com/aws-deadline/deadline-cloud-samples/tree/mainline/conda_recipes/blender-4.3)
+ [blender-4.4](https://github.com/aws-deadline/deadline-cloud-samples/tree/mainline/conda_recipes/blender-4.4)
+ [blender-4.5](https://github.com/aws-deadline/deadline-cloud-samples/tree/mainline/conda_recipes/blender-4.5)
+ [blender-5.0](https://github.com/aws-deadline/deadline-cloud-samples/tree/mainline/conda_recipes/blender-5.0)
+ [blender-5.1](https://github.com/aws-deadline/deadline-cloud-samples/tree/mainline/conda_recipes/blender-5.1)
+ [blender-flipfluids](https://github.com/aws-deadline/deadline-cloud-samples/tree/mainline/conda_recipes/blender-flipfluids): FLIP Fluids physics simulation add-on for Blender.
+ [blender-plugin-bundle](https://github.com/aws-deadline/deadline-cloud-samples/tree/mainline/conda_recipes/blender-plugin-bundle): A bundle of Blender plugins packaged together.

Submit a Blender 4.5 build job from the `conda_recipes` directory of the samples repository:

```
./submit-package-job blender-4.5
```

For details on the Blender packaging approach, see the [blender-4.5 recipe README](https://github.com/aws-deadline/deadline-cloud-samples/tree/mainline/conda_recipes/blender-4.5). To install Blender add-ons, place the `.py` or `.zip` file in a known location inside `$INSTALL_DIR` and modify the activate script to install the add-on with Blender's Python.
