Linux/Macos install

[thefunguy010]

So when installing this for Ubuntu blender a error message popped up and the fix was this command
$ python3 -m pip install lxml

So on installation could it do this command?

Yes I know in releases you put a command to do but I found that for windows and I did not know what it was doing (Somewhat).

Running python3 -m pip install lxml installs lxml on your system-wide installation of Python. It does work when your system-wide version matches the major version of Blender's Python, but it does not work in general and it's imho bad design to have a Blender addon automatically affecting system things.

I've tried in the past running automatically this installation using Blender's embedded Python, but it turned out to be too complicated to maintain, especially since I don't have a mac to test on (and Mac has 2 CPU architectures to test now..)

In theory the add-on's zip contains the whole lxml module for all systems, so if it did not work for you, please share the lxml module that you've installed and let me know your OS version so that I can add it to the release zip.
