Linux installation
The Maya FBX Plug-in is
available for Linux.
Linux compatibility
The Maya FBX Plug-in is compatible with the
following versions of the Linux Operating system:
- GCC 4.0.2 (32- and 64-bit)
To install the Maya FBX Plug-in:
- Download the installation file from the
Autodesk web site (www.Autodesk.com/FBX).
- 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.
- 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.)
- Start Maya and navigate to Window > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in
Manager.
- Activate the Loaded option
for Fbxmaya.so in the Plug-in
Manager.
- Activate the Fbxmaya.so Autoload option
so Maya loads the Maya FBX Plug-in automatically at start-up.
