Maya Linux Install 2016

download.autodesk.com/us/support/files/maya_2016_service_pack_4/Autodesk_Maya_2016_SP4_EN_Linux_64bit.tgz

GUI installation of Maya is not possible in archlinux, you get failed dependencies for /bin/sh (apparently related to extracting the rpms). Not a problem, manual installation is very straightforwards.

Manual Installation

cd /home/will/downloads
mkdir maya2016

tar -xvf Autodesk* -C maya2016
rpmextract.sh *.rpm

sudo rsync -aAXvt opt/* /opt/
sudo rsync -aAXvt var/* /var/
sudo rsync -aAXvt usr/* /usr/

## This path does not exist yet, you will need
## to create it so that Maya knows where to look for the license server
sudo echo -e 'SERVER 127.0.0.1 0\nUSE_SERVER' > /var/flexlm/maya.lic

## Register Maya
sudo cp libadlmutil.so.11  /usr/lib/

Library Linking

ldd /usr/autodesk/maya2016/bin/maya.bin									## In a bind, make sure the dependencies are all satisfied


cd /usr/lib

## /usr/autodesk/maya2016/bin/maya2016 dependencies
sudo ln -s   libssl.so.1.0.0      libssl.so.10

Running Maya

/opt/flexnetserver/lmgrd -z -c /opt/flexnetserver/lic.dat			## Take a look at the log for errors
sudo  /usr/autodesk/maya2016/bin/maya2016									## Maya still does not have permissions, run as sudo

Fixing Permissions

sudo useradd autodesk					# create group autodesk
sudo usermod -a -G autodesk will		# add user 'will' to group autodesk
sudo newgrp autodesk						# enable group without login
 
 
sudo chown -R autodesk:autodesk  /usr/autodesk			## this is required so that my script can have permission to start flexlm server
sudo chown -R root:autodesk  /var/opt/Autodesk		## before maya starts
sudo chown -R root:autodesk  /var/flexlm
sudo chown -R root:autodesk  /opt/flexnetserver
 
 
cp /root/Adlm /home/will/
cp /root/maya /home/will/
chown -R will:autodesk /home/will/Adlm
chown -R will:autodesk /home/will/maya
