To install OctaneBlender® and OctaneServer, open up the Linux Terminal dialog, then type chmod +x octane_blender_2021.1.4-26.1-stable.run and press Enter. Next, type chmod +x octane_server_enterprise_2021.1.4-26.1-stable.run and press Enter. If Linux asks for your root password, enter it accordingly.

 

After running those commands, you can install the applications. First, type ./octane_blender_2021.1.4-26.1-stable.run -i and press Enter. When that command finishes, type ./octane_server_enterprise_2021.1.4-26.1-stable.run -i and press Enter. Linux installs OctaneBlender® and OctaneServer in the /usr/local/OctaneBlender directory.


To run OctaneServer, type OctaneServer and press Enter. To run OctaneBlender®, type OctaneBlender and press Enter.


You can also run these applications from the /usr/local/OctaneBlender folder, but the installation process asks for permission, so we recommend running the programs with the sudo command.
