4 To install the required software, enter either of the following commands
(where # indicates the specific package numbers), depending on whether
you are installing Maya on a computer with Mudbox already installed:
■ To install Maya alone, enter:
rpm -ivh Maya2013_0_64-2013.0-#.x86_64.rpm
adlmapps5-5.#.x86_64.rpm
adlmflexnetclient-5.#.x86_64.rpm
■ To install Maya with Mudbox, enter:
rpm -ivh --force Maya2013_0_64-2013.0-#.x86_64.rpm
adlmapps5-5.#.x86_64.rpm
adlmflexnetclient-5.#.x86_64.rpm
Maya 2013 adds the required libXm.so.3 library to the Maya lib directory
as part of its standard install, so installing the openMotif runtime rpm
is not required.
5 Look for a file named libGL.so in the /usr/lib/ or /usr/X11R6/lib
directory to verify that OpenGL is installed.
NOTE /usr/lib is normally 32-bit on Red Hat, Fedora, and SuSE
distributions, but may be 64-bit for Ubuntu and Debian distributions. Some
distributions include the system OpenGL driver mesa-GL, which is not ideal
for running Maya. Maya is a 64-bit application and requires a 64-bit OpenGL
3D-accelerated driver for best performance.
TIP To easily check which OpenGL driver is installed, use the glxinfo
program to list the top portion of the output, then look for the driver and
renderer strings. For example:
glxinfo | less
6 (Optional) For information on installing the Maya documentation
package, see
Install the Maya Help (page 29).
By default, the Maya Help is Internet-based, so launching the Help within
Maya calls an Autodesk web server to display the documentation.
7 Run the following command to set whether you are using a network or
a stand-alone license:
/usr/autodesk/maya2013-x64/bin/licensechooser
/usr/autodesk/maya2013-x64/ <licensetype> unlimited
where you specify standalone or network for <licenseType>.
