$Download Atoms Katana from here.

  1. Extract the AtomsKatana folder from the tar.gz archive: tar xvf AtomsKatana.tar.gz

  2. Copy the AtomsKatana folder to:

    /opt/Toolchefs/

     

  3. Set these env variables:

    ATOMS_KATANA=/opt/Toolchefs/AtomsKatana/2.6v4 KATANA_RESOURCES=$ATOMS_KATANA:$KATANA_RESOURCES LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ATOMS_KATANA/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ATOMS_KATANA_PROCEDURAL=$ATOMS_KATANA/rman/21.6/AtomsRManProcedural.so ATOMS_GLSL_PATH=$ATOMS_KATANA/glsl ATOMS_KATANA_FONTS=$ATOMS_KATANA/fonts ATOMS_GLSL_DISABLE_LIGHTS=1 toolchefs_LICENSE_SERVER=5063@localhost (change servername to your hostname where the license server is running, PLEASE USE THIS ENV VARIABLE ONLY WITH FLOATING LICENSES) (if you are using atomskatana 6 set toolchefs_LICENSE_SERVER=5053@localhost)

     

  4. If you are using floating licenses and the license server is running on another machine set the environment variable toolchefs_LICENSE or RLM_LICENSE to 5053@servername

  5. If you are using Arnold set:

    ATOMS_KATANA_PROCEDURAL=$ATOMS_KATANA/arnold/7.2.5.1/AtomsArnoldProcedural.so ARNOLD_PLUGIN_PATH=$ATOMS_KATANA/arnold/7.2.5.1

 

If you install atoms in a custom folder you need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable to the AtomsKatana/${KATANA_VERSION}/lib/, or the plugin won't be able to load.
