Installing your Software

Installing Flame Premium or Visual Effects and

Finishing Standalone Software

Use the following procedure to install or upgrade your software.

NOTE To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that only Autodesk

Creative Finishing applications and required Red Hat Enterprise Linux packages be

installed on the workstations.

To install your software:

1 Log in to your workstation as root and open a terminal.

2 Archive existing media on the framestore (highly recommended). Refer

to the “Archiving” topic in the application help.

3 If you need to change your system date or time, do it before installing

the application.

4 Go to the application installation directory. You must mount the USB key

(page 42) or extract the tar file (page 43) to access the install directory.

5 Start the application installation script by typing:

./INSTALL_<application_name>

where <application_name> is in upper case.

For example, if you are installing Flame Premium, type:

./INSTALL_FLAMEPREMIUM

Or, if you are installing Smoke, type:

./INSTALL_SMOKE
