    The clone has been successful (I was still using the Windows terminal) and thank you very much. However running the .bat file was completed but with an observation that I don't know if I have to worry about it. You can find the red highlight if it's something to ignore;

    Issue solved! I had to reinstall Blender again. Thanks.

    Good morning. I did a "git pull" to automatically update my BBIM but when I opened Blender 4.2 the BBIM add-on had vanished (uninstalled). What could have happened?

    I have manually downloaded the BBIM update now (bonsai_py311-0.7.11-alpha240813-windows-x64) but when I try to manually install this is the error I get ("No module name bsdd");

    How do I solve this. Thank you.

    Most likely you'll need to rename / delete your 4.2 folder and try reinstall. Things are going to move a little bit while we complete the rename. This means modules, wheels, import statements will all need changing. This also means the dev setup script will change.

    Okay thank you and this is well noted. But if I have to rename what would that be?

    Just rename it so that if it messes up you can always restore it. Otherwise you can delete it.

    With 4.2, how are you uninstalling Bonsai? Currently i find myself having to delete the entire 'Extensions' folder. Obviously this is not ideal.

    I tried to uninstall via Blender's preferences, but it didn't seem to work.

    Right in time asking. I need help too:).

    The approach I find works for manual installation from disk:

    1) GO to addons and deactivate Bonsai (untick)

    2) Restart blender

    3) GO to Extensions and uninstall Bonsai

    4) Restart Blender

    5) GO to extensions -> install from Disk and select the correct install it should activate automatically

    If you get an error like bsdd missing or anything, deactivate + uninstall and restart your PC before trying again

    Theoretically with the new extensiosn system one could set the target repo to the ifcopenshell github repo and get access to the latest dev updates, right ?

    @tlang ah yes, this is exactly what I was refering too. I should have dug a bit more in the docs :) I'm glad the link is out in this thread for anyone to see though. Cheers

    Just an addendum to mention it looks like there should be a link to this unstable installation tutorial at the end of this page but it doesn't exist. Cheers

    How do I get the "update" button to show in my Blender?
