Linux environment setup

Before running analyses on Linux machines, you need to add some environment variables to your shell.

Workstation installation

The command to do this depends on whether your shell is a Bourne shell or a C shell.

Tip: To show your shell name, run the command:

echo $SHELL

If it prints "csh" or "tcsh", then it a C shell derivative. Otherwise it is a Bourne shell derivative.

On Bourne shells, use the . (dot) command to source the environment into the current shell:

. /opt/Autodesk/moldflow/ami20YY-RR-NN/etc/MFENV.sh

Note: The workstation installer installs by default to the directory

/opt/Autodesk/moldflow/ami20YY-RR-NN .

Alter the above path if your installation is in a different location

These settings will apply until you close this shell.

Tip: To make the changes permanent, you can add the above command to the .profile file in your home directory.

On C shells, use the source command to source the environment into the current shell:

source /opt/Autodesk/moldflow/ami20YY-RR-NN/etc/MFENV.csh

Note: The workstation installer installs by default to the directory

/opt/Autodesk/moldflow/ami20YY-RR-NN .

Alter the above path if your installation is in a different location.

These settings will apply until you close this shell.

Tip: To make the changes permanent, you can add the above command to the .login file in your home directory.

It is assumed that you are using a Bourne shell derivative.

Use the . (dot) command to source the environment into the current shell:

. /path/to/installed/files/mfclient.env

Note: The thin client installer is installed to a directory chosen by your system administrator. Change the above path as appropriate.

These settings will apply until you close this shell.

Note: To make the changes permanent, you can add the above command to the .profile file in your home directory.
