  1. Download Atoms Maya from here.

  2. Extract the AtomsMaya folder from the tar.gz archive.

    tar xvf AtomsMaya_x_x_x.tar.gz

  3. Copy the Atoms Maya folder to:

    cp AtomsMaya /opt/Toolchefs/

  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

 

If you want to install Atoms Maya in a different location.

  1. Create a new file called AtomsMaya.sh and put these lines inside it:

    ## AtomsMaya env variables #export toolchefs_LICENSE=5053@localhost export ATOMS_MAYA_VERSION=2019 export ATOMS_VRAY_VERSION=4.30 if [ -z "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ] then export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Toolchefs/AtomsMaya/lib/$ATOMS_MAYA_VERSION:/opt/Toolchefs/AtomsMaya/lib:/opt/Toolchefs/AtomsMaya/plug-ins/$ATOMS_MAYA_VERSION:/opt/Toolchefs/AtomsMaya/vray/$ATOMS_VRAY_VERSION/$ATOMS_MAYA_VERSION:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH else export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Toolchefs/AtomsMaya/lib/$ATOMS_MAYA_VERSION:/opt/Toolchefs/AtomsMaya/lib:/opt/Toolchefs/AtomsMaya/plug-ins/$ATOMS_MAYA_VERSION:/opt/Toolchefs/AtomsMaya/vray/$ATOMS_VRAY_VERSION/$ATOMS_MAYA_VERSION fi if [ -z "$MAYA_MODULE_PATH" ] then export MAYA_MODULE_PATH=/opt/Toolchefs/AtomsMaya else export MAYA_MODULE_PATH=/opt/Toolchefs/AtomsMaya:$MAYA_MODULE_PATH fi

  2. Replace /opt/Toolchefs/ with the correct folder path inside the AtomsMaya.sh and AtomsMaya.module files.

  3. Set the RLM server hostname or ip and port, changing the toolchefs_LICENSE env variable inside the AtomsMaya.module or setting it inside the AtomsMaya.sh, removing it from the AtomsMaya.module file.

  4. Copy the AtomsMaya.sh script to:


If you don’t want to use the AtomsMaya.sh file, you need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

  1. Add "AtomsMaya/lib/${MAYA_VERSION}" subfolder (please substitute ${MAYA_VERSION} with your Maya version) to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable.

  2. 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
