I am trying to install a package via Blender's python's pip on Windows but first I get:
defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
and then the add-on that is supposed to find said package doesn't find it anymore.
Where is "normal site-packages" for Blender 3.0 onwards on Windows - so that I can try to make that writeable, and install the package so it can be found? or is there a better way to do this?
What Marty said:
Does this answer your question? It's "PATH_TO_BLENDER_INSTALL\3.X\python\lib\site-packages" replacing X with 0, 1, or 2 as appropriate. If you installed Blender in the default location it's "c:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.X\3.X\python\lib\site-packages"
And if you want to be sure you can print sys.exec_prefix in the blender python console,look for lib/site-packages inside that folder.
import sys
print(sys.exec_prefix)
