Installer does not see Blender on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)

[magdesign]

Describe the bug
Prism installer does not see my Blender installs.
Since on Linux you unpack Blender and place the folder where ever you want (mostly /opt/)
Can not manually search my Blender bin files.

To Reproduce
unpack Prism_v1.2.0_Linux.tar.gz to /opt/Prism
cd into /opt/Prism
run sudo ./Prism_setup_Linux.sh

Expected behavior
I'd like to double click into the window to set my custom path to all of my Blender versions.

Desktop (please complete the following information):
NAME="Pop!OS"
VERSION="18.04 LTS"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
Desktop=XFCE4

hi @magdesign how do you install Prism in PopOS!, I've got the following error with python pyside.

python3 "/opt/Pipeline/Prism/Scripts/PrismTray.py"
/opt/Pipeline/Prism/Scripts/PrismTray.py:197: SyntaxWarning: "is not" with a literal. Did you mean "!="?
  curProject is not None and curProject is not ""

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

@aditiapratama
Just tested on Pop!OS 20.04 LTS
and was not able to install!

I think there are some problems in with Python versions and PySide Versions.
See this issue here: #19

Open a new issue and exactly describe all the errors including your OS version.

The issue that Blender was not showing up in the ui has been fixed in recent versions, it seems.
The logic searching for blender installations is still in need of some attention.
