Install Mudbox on Linux using the RPM utility

With the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) command-line utility, you can use either the -i flag or the -ivh flag to install the programs. The -ivh flag provides you with more information during the installation.

To install Mudbox on a Linux OS using the RPM utility:

  1. Depending on whether you install the software from a USB or via the web, perform the appropriate step:
    • Insert the USB install media and the drive should mount automatically.
    • Download from the website the .gz file, and extract the Mudbox package from the compressed file.
  2. In the UNIX shell, enter the command as super user (for root):
    su -
  3. Enter the super user password.
  4. Go to the shell where you extracted the product's packages.
  5. Enter the command to list all the contents:
    ls
    The list of rpm packages is similar to the rpm packages listed in the following table where the # character indicates the package number.
