@martyngrogan-lgtm The problem is the Blender version, not the ZIP file.

Your screenshot shows Blender 5.1, while SCS Blender Tools v2.4.1 officially supports Blender 3.2.x through 3.6.x. Because Blender’s add-on API changed, the tool fails while enabling and produces the No module named 'bgl' error. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Recommended fix

1. Install Blender 3.6 LTS alongside Blender 5.1.
2. Download the release asset named scs_blender_tools_addon.zip—not GitHub’s source-code ZIP. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
3. In Blender 3.6, open:
   Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install
4. Select the ZIP without extracting it.
5. Enable SCS Tools after installation.
6. Install the latest SCS Conversion Tools as well, since SCS recommends using them with Blender Tools. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

You can keep Blender 5.1 for your other work, but use Blender 3.6 for the SCS workflow. Reinstalling the same add-on in 5.1 will not solve this because that version is currently outside the supported range.
