Configuring Blender Engine Requirements

PySide6 Installation

To run toolkit applications, PySide6 must be installed where Blender’s Python can access it.

For Windows, install PySide6 in Blender’s bundled Python environment with the following command:

"C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 4.2\4.2\python\bin\python.exe" -m pip install PySide6 --target="C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 4.2\4.2\python\lib"

Ensure you run this command in an Administrator console, as Blender’s installation directory may require elevated permissions.

tk-core v0.21.6+

Ensure you use tk-core version v0.21.6 or later to support PySide6.

Modify the version in the configuration file located at: /config/core/core_api.yml

It should look like this:

location:
  type: app_store
  name: tk-core
  version: v0.21.6
