Windows install instructions with Miniconda and Anaconda

[quickgrid]

Windows install instructions mentioned here did not quite work for me. Anyone facing issues with Anaconda/Miniconda can try this,

• Get Blender 2.92 portable windows zip from, https://www.blender.org/download/. Installer will also work but I only tested on portable. Addon can be installed on Blender 2.91 but shows error when clicked on render button.
• Have Miniconda or Anaconda installed. Process is same for both.
• Create a new conda environment or in existing conda environment run, pip install zpy-zumo --upgrade. Use administrator mode if any problem.
• Rename the blender python folder to _python. It is in, <BASE_PATH>\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.92\2.92. Here, <BASE_PATH> could be, C:, C:\myfolder etc.
• Use anaconda prompt to navigate to blender directory by, cd <BASE_PATH>\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.92\2.92
• Create symlink with mklink /j python C:\Users\<username>\miniconda3\envs\mycustomenv.
• Get scipy‑1.6.3‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl from here, https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy. Install it with, pip install scipy-1.6.3-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl --force-reinstall --user by first going into directory where *.whl file is via cmd.
• If there is a problem get numpy‑1.20.3+mkl‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl first before scipy.
• Run pip install --upgrade matplotlib.
• Open blender and install addon zip file from, https://github.com/ZumoLabs/zpy/releases/tag/v1.1.5.
• Enable addon and do a test render.
