ODS Studio v1.1 Free Windows Installer (all free modules + third-party binaries)

If you are on Windows this is all you need to get started. This package includes all the free modules outlined below as well as packaged binaries for OpenFOAM (for CFD) and Radiance (for daylight). The installer works on a 32 and 64-bit system however the OpenFOAM binaries are only installed on a 64-bit system.
NOTE: If you would like to upgrade to ODS Studio v1.2 for Windows then please use this installer first and then download the required packages for v1.2 separately from above. You must then extract the zip file and overwrite the files that are in your blender\2.63\scripts\addons folder with the new v1.2 files that you have extracted.

Python install script for Linux/Mac

This script automates the process of installing ODS Studio on a Linux or Mac machine. The script was created for an older version of ODS Studio so you will have to modify the script for your platform and version accordingly. However this modification is quite easy and the script is still useful for outlining the steps required for installation on these platforms.
