I tried a few different times to install Blender in my WSL Ubuntu 20.04 terminal. I think I finally found a good write-up with instructions for a tar.xz file, but when I try to launch it I get anerror:

:/usr/include/blender-3.2.2-linux-x64$ blender
/usr/lib/blender/blender: error while loading shared libraries: libLLVM-6.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I think I might have messed up my environment variable and/or path or something; I assume there should not be two results in the following output to:

:/usr/include/blender-3.2.2-linux-x64$ type -a blender
blender is /usr/bin/blender
blender is /bin/blender

I'd like to just clean everything up and start anew. How can I do this?

Edit

I followed these instructions to update LD_LIBRARY_PATH and now I now longer receive error while loading shared libraries. The questions still stands, though, as type -a blender still returns two outputs and I'm not sure that is appropriate.

what method did you use for installation?(like build from source, using package managers, and etc.) – Rishon_JR Sep 01 '22 at 15:00
I approached it from a few different ways. Finally settled on this. I'm both a novice, and working on a Windows machine without admin privileges, so it's been tough. – domattioli Sep 01 '22 at 15:09
try sudo apt reinstall blender – Rishon_JR Sep 01 '22 at 15:15

/bin and /usr/bin are really the same these days, with /bin a link to /usr/bin. Same with /sbin and /usr/sbin, and lib and /usr/lib. – ubfan1 Sep 01 '22 at 15:40
