The installation package installs Nuke, NukeX, and Nuke Studio, and icons for these appear in your installation folder.
To install Nuke on Linux, see either:
• Installing from the Terminal, or
• Installing Remotely from the Terminal.
| 1. | Download the correct .tgz installation file from our website at www.thefoundry.co.uk. |
| 2. | Extract the installer from the .tgz archive with the following terminal command: |
tar xvzf Nuke9.0v10-linux-x86-release-64.tgz
This gives you an installer file.
| 3. | Run the installer. |
sudo ./Nuke9.0v10-linux-x86-release-64-installer
| 4. | Follow the on-screen instructions. By default, Nuke is installed to /usr/local/Nuke9.0v10 |
| 5. | The Nuke plug-ins page on The Foundry website opens, giving you easy access to a large selection of plug-ins to use with Nuke. |
| 6. | If you didn’t add a license key during the installation, do that now. Proceed to Licensing on Linux. |
TIP: To install Nuke silently, you can simply unzip the installer file. This creates the properly formed Nuke directory tree in the current directory.
NOTE: By installing Nuke silently, you agree to the terms of the End User Licensing Agreement. To see this agreement, please refer to Appendix E: EULA or run the installer in standard, non-silent mode.
If you need to install Nuke on render machines using the terminal, do the following:
| 1. | Download the correct .tgz installation file from our website at www.thefoundry.co.uk. |
| 2. | Extract the installer from the .tgz archive with the following terminal command: |
tar xvzf Nuke9.0v10-linux-x86-release-64.tgz
This gives you an installer file.
| 3. | Use the following terminal command to log in to your render machine as root: |
ssh root@render_machine
Replace render_machine with the name of your render node.
| 4. | Make a directory to install Nuke to: |
mkdir /usr/local/Nuke9.0v10
| 5. | Copy the installer file from the machine that you downloaded it on to your render machine with a command like: |
scp root@download_machine:/tmp/Nuke9.0v10-linux-x86-release-64-installer root@render_machine:/usr/local/Nuke9.0v10/
Replace download_machine with the name of the machine you downloaded the installer file to, and render_machine with the name of your render node.
| 6. | Unzip the installer file to unpack its contents into your Nuke directory: |
cd /usr/local/Nuke9.0v10
unzip Nuke9.0v10-linux-x86-release-64-installer
| 7. | Repeat steps 3-6 for each render machine. |
