Nuke 8.0v7 is installed separately to any previous versions installed.
The installation package installs Nuke, NukeX, Nuke Assist, and the Nuke PLE version, and icons for these appear in your installation folder.
To install Nuke on Linux, see either:
• Installing Nuke from the Command Line, or
• Installing Nuke Remotely from the Command Line.
| 1. | Download the correct .tgz installation file from our web site at www.thefoundry.co.uk. |
| 2. | Extract the installer from the .tgz archive with the following terminal command: |
tar xvzf Nuke8.0v7-linux-x86-release-64.tgz
This gives you an installer file.
| 3. | Run the installer. |
sudo ./Nuke8.0v7-linux-x86-release-64-installer
| 4. | Follow the on-screen instructions. By default, Nuke is installed to /usr/local/Nuke8.0v7. |
| 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 Nuke 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.
If you need to install Nuke on render machines using the command line, do the following:
| 1. | Download the correct .tgz installation file from our web site at www.thefoundry.co.uk. |
| 2. | Extract the installer from the tgz archive with the following terminal command: |
tar xvzf Nuke8.0v7-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/Nuke8.0v7
| 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/Nuke8.0v7-linux-x86-release-64-installer root@render_machine:/usr/local/Nuke8.0v7/
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/Nuke8.0v7
unzip Nuke8.0v7-linux-x86-release-64-installer
| 7. | Repeat steps 3-6 for each render machine. |
