Installing on Mac

The installation bundle installs the entire Nuke family, including Hiero and HieroPlayer, and icons for the various components appear in your installation folder.

Note:  Some modern anti-virus software may wrongly assume that certain files in the Nuke installer are suspicious. Examples of these files include libnuke-12.0.0.so and geolib-runtime-prof.so. If you have trouble installing Nuke on your machine, try disabling your anti-virus software before installation. Don't forget to restart your anti-virus software after installation.
