2. Installation Procedures¶There are multiple ways to install T4SU. Choose the procedure  depending on your OS. You can also directly upload it from inside SketchUp.2.1. Under Windows¶The following installation procedure assumes that you already haveinstalled a recent release of the SketchUp software (Make or Pro). You simply have to: Download the latest Ruby script file (a file with the .rbs extension)available on sourcesup.renater.fr.

Under Linux¶Sketchup doesn’t propose a native Linux distribution. Nonetheless, many people use wine.There are many tutorials already online explaining how to install sketchup in an Ubuntu-based environment, so we’re not going to go through that again. Nonetheless, if you are having problems installing, here is a nifty little github project called SkipI  that can make your life a little easier. Many Sketchup installation configurations under Linux require disabling the Ruby API, which we need. This method will ensure you can keep the API enabled by automatically installing a stable version of Sketchup8. SkipI will also configure a desktop shortcut for you.First remove any earlier attempts at installing Sketchup. Then open a new terminal and hit :wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wilfm/SkipI/master/skipi.shchmod +x skipi.sh./skipi.shThis will install Sketchup8, which isn’t the newest version, but it isat least stable on Linux.Once in Sketchup, you may realize that .rbs folders don’t work in older Sketchup versions : you’ll need a .rbz file. Making a .rbz is fairly straightforward, as it is actually just a .zip file. So send your T4su extension to a compressed file, then simply change the end of it’s name from .zip to .rbz. You’re now ready to go to Window &#62; Preferences &#62; Install Extensions... and select your t4su_version.rbz file.Next, downoad the plugin from renater.
