Setup guide
2 Download the tar file from Autodesk.
3 After downloading the tar file, verify its integrity using the Linux md5
checksum. In the directory where you saved the tar file and the checksum
file, type md5sum <filename.tar.gz>, and make sure the checksum
displayed matches the Linux md5sum listed in the checksum file.
4 Unpack the downloaded application tar file to a temporary directory:
tar -zxvf<filename.tar.gz>
The file is uncompressed and an installation directory is created on your
system.
Installing the DKU
Before installing your software, you must install the required version of the
DKU. See the Release Notes for the required DKU version for this version.
For major releases, the DKU is available on optical media or as a download
from Autodesk. For extensions and service packs, the DKU is only available
for download. The download link is provided in the release announcement
you received from Autodesk.
To install the DKU:
1 Open a terminal and log in as root.
2 If you are upgrading an existing application, check the currently installed
DKU version by typing:
head -n1 /etc/DKUversion
If the DKU version output by the command does not match the version
required for the new application version, perform the remaining steps
in this procedure.
3 Mount the USB key (page 42) or extract the tar file (page 43) to access
the DKU installation directory.
4 Go to the DKU installation directory (/mnt/usbdisk/DKU-<version>, if you
are installing from the application USB key) and launch the DKU
installation script:
./INSTALL_DKU
