Installation workflows

Prerequisites

■ Check the System Requirements Web page. If upgrading, check that your Linux version is still up-to-date.

To determine the Linux version of Red Hat Enterprise or CentOS, in a terminal run: cat

/etc/redhat-release

■ Read the Release Notes and Fixed and Known Bugs List.

■ If not using Red Hat, Prepare the CentOS disc (page 64).

■ If you plan to work in a remote connection workflow with Autodesk Flame or Autodesk Inferno, make

sure to upgrade the Flame or Inferno workstation to the same software version as you are now installing.

To upgrade to a new version, service pack, or extension without reinstalling or reconfiguring the operating

system:

1 Install the Autodesk software (page 67).

2 License your software (page 76). Re-licensing is not necessary if you are upgrading to a service pack of

the same software version or to a service pack of the same extension.

To install from scratch or do a fresh reinstall:

1 Install Linux for Flare (page 64)

2 Install the Autodesk software (page 67).

3 Configure media storage (page 69).

4 License your software (page 76).

If you plan to use the software in a remote connection workflow with Flame or Inferno, ensure they have

the same software version.
