Linux installation

The Maya FBX plug-in is available for Linux.

To install the Maya FBX plug-in:

1. Download the installation file from the Autodesk web site ( www.autodesk.com/fbx ).
2. Remove the old plug-in from the /usr/Autodesk/maya<ver>/bin/plug-ins/ (where <ver> is the version of Maya you have installed,) directory by entering rm –f fbxmaya.so at the command prompt.
3. Type the following command to install the Maya FBX plug-in:

./fbx<ver>_maya<ver>_linux_enu

(Where FBX<ver> is the version of the Maya FBX plug-in you have installed).

This installs the plug-in to the following directory:

/usr/Autodesk/maya<ver>/bin/plug-ins/ (where <ver> is the version of Maya you have installed).

If you install Maya in another folder, you can specify the path on the Command Line after: ./fbx<ver>_maya<ver>_linux_enu /home/maya/mypath/

(Where FBX<ver> is the version of the Maya FBX plug-in you have installed.)

1. Start Maya and navigate to Window > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager.
2. Activate the Loaded option for Fbxmaya.so in the Plug-in Manager.
3. Activate the Fbxmaya.soAutoload option so Maya loads the Maya FBX plug-in automatically at start-up.
