Installation Guide

Mantis only supports Blender 4.2 and Blender 4.3 at this time.

Mantis is a Blender Extension. Install the extension from within Blender:

1. Open Blender and go to Edit>Preferences from the menu in the topbar.
2. Navigate to the Get Extensions Tab.
3. Add a new Extension Repository by clicking on "Repositories" in the top right and clicking the "+" symbol that appears in the drop-down panel. Choose "Add Remote Repository".
4. For the URL, enter: "https://nodes.tools/extensions".
5. Now, use the search-bar at the top to search for Mantis.
6. When you see Mantis appear in the list at the top, click "Install".

Make sure to update Mantis, either by enabling automatic updates from the extension Repository settings (see step 3), or by re-installing it from the extension.

If for some reason you do not want to use the extension, Mantis is available as a direct download from nodes.tools.
