# Running Blender
## Launch Blender from Taskbar/Start Menu
## Create Blender Shortcut
Once your project has been setup using the "Project Tools" scripts Blender should be available inside your application's native application launcher. The run Blender script will take the correct blender version for your operating system from `{my_project}/shared/artifacts/blender` and extract it to the local directory. Along with any add-ons in the `{my_project}/shared/artifacts/addons` folder. Your Blender preferences are stored on a per project basis in `{directory-path}`
### Create Linux Shortcut
