+
+Install the python dependecies using `pip`:
+```
+pip install numpy
+pip install requests
+```
+
+When blender is build as a module, the `blender` binary doesn't get built. So, first build blender as normal following [these instructions](http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Building_Blender/Linux/Ubuntu/CMake). Run `install_deps.sh` to generate the cmake options. For example, build all libraries except for opensubdivision, opencollada and ffmpeg:
+```
+./blender/build_files/build_environment/install_deps.sh --source ./ --threads=4 --with-all --skip-osd --skip-ffmpeg
+```
+
+When using cmake, use the following python options (in addition to any other options returned from the command above that you need):
+```
+cmake -DPYTHON_VERSION=3.5 -DPYTHON_ROOT_DIR=~/.pyenv/versions/3.5.1 ../blender
+```
+Make sure to build it and install it:
+```
+make -j4
+make install
+```
+
+This should have created the blender binary `bin/blender`. Now, build blender as a module as described in the [original post](http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Ideasman42/BlenderAsPyModule) (in addition to any other options):
+```
+cmake -DWITH_PLAYER=OFF -DWITH_PYTHON_INSTALL=OFF -DWITH_PYTHON_MODULE=ON ../blender
+```
+Build it an install it:
+```
+make -j4
+make install
+```
+This should have created the python library `bin/bpy.so`.
