Additional required Linux libraries for Maya

Not all system libraries and fonts required to run Maya are installed by default on all Linux distributions. You can use the dnf package manager's dnf install command to install any libraries and fonts that are missing from your system.

The names of these libraries can vary between Linux distributions.

Important: The Maya installer requires the libnsl library to run. This library is not present by default on RHEL8 or Rocky8 Linux. You will need to install the libnsl library using sudo dnf install libnsl before running the Maya installer on Linux. This library is not required if you are installing Maya using the rpm package.
