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.

cp -R Nuke<version> /Applications/
| 7. | Enter the following command: |

Installing Oculus Rift
Mac OS X/macOS support for Oculus Rift DK2 requires the OpenHMD third-party library, which is installed as part of the CaraVR toolset.
See Reviewing Your Work for more information on using headsets.
Note: Some Macs have a legacy version of the Rift SDK installed by default. If you have trouble with the Oculus Rift on Mac, try uninstalling the old version of the SDK and restarting the machine to pick up the required version.
Alternatively, you can control what starts up when you launch your Mac using launchctl, but use caution as mistakes in the file can stop your machine booting correctly.
