Install Mudbox on Linux using the rpm package

To install Mudbox on Linux using the rpm package:

1. Change the directory to install/Packages in the Mudbox installation package.
2. Install the licencing rpm packages listed in the following table, where # indicates the package number:

   Package Name	Description	Required
   adskflexnetclient-11.16.#.x86_64.rpm	Autodesk stand-alone licensing	For a stand-alone license
   adlmapps25-#.x86_64.rpm	Autodesk licensing	Yes
   adsklicensing12.0.0.6537-#.x86_64.rpm	Autodesk Licensing	Yes

3. Verify that the licensing service is running

   sudo /usr/bin/systemctl status adsklicensing

   If the licensing service is not running, do the following:
   • Run

     sudo getent group adsklic &>/dev/null || sudo groupadd adsklic
     
     sudo id -u adsklic &>/dev/null || sudo useradd -M -r -g adsklic adsklic -d / -s /usr/bin/nologin 
     
     sudo /usr/bin/systemctl enable adsklicensing --quiet
     
     sudo /usr/bin/systemctl start adsklicensing 

   • Check that the licensing service has started and is running.
   • If the licensing service is still not running, run /opt/Autodesk/AdskLicensingService --run and check /var/opt/Autodesk/AdskLicensingService/Log/AdskLicensingService.log for messages.
4. Install Mudbox using the included Mudbox rpm

   sudo yum install <mudboxrpm> 

   Note: Previously-installed versions of Mudbox may interfere with the installation. If the yum tool returns a "does not update installed package" error, use rpm -ivf <mudboxrpm> --force instead.
5. Verify that Mudbox has been registered.
   Mudbox should appear in the list of products returned by

   /opt/Autodesk/AdskLicensing/<version_number>/helper/AdskLicensingInstHelper list

   If it does not, manually register it using

   sudo /opt/Autodesk/AdskLicensing/Current/helper/AdskLicensingInstHelper register -pk 498P1 -pv 2024.0.0.F -cf /path/to/MudboxConfig.pit -el US

6. Start Mudbox using

   /usr/autodesk/<mudboxversion>/mudbox.sh
