Installation

Installing Pyblish for Maya

Pyblish depends on having PyQt5 installed for Python 2.7. See here for instructions on how to install PyQt5.

$ pip install pyblish-maya

Installing the integration into Maya

The next step is to expose the integration to Maya. For this, you've got two options.

1. Append a userSetup.py to your PYTHONPATH

# Typically, the integration is located here
c:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pyblish_maya\pythonpath

Append this path to your PYTHONPATH. See here for help with modifying your environment

2. Append to your own userSetup.py

# Typically located here:
C:\Users\marcus\Documents\maya\scripts

Append the following

import pyblish_maya
pyblish_maya.setup()

Testing things out

The next time you open up Maya, look for an item in your File menu that reads "Publish". If you haven't got it, head over to the Troubleshooting section and we'll get you sorted out.

Conclusion

That's all there is to it! Let's go ahead and learn Pyblish by publishing something from Maya.
