Many thanks to ttc0419 for getting this set up and for writing these instructions originally. Many thanks to jimmy_christensenMSURY for fixing the Maya 2025+ licensing.

Installation Instructions:

Go to your Autodesk account Products and Services and save the Linux tgz file to any location of your choice. You will also need v1.15 of the Autodesk Identity Manager from Product Updates.

Extract the tgz files to any location of your choice.

Maya is now split into several packages as it is for the official rpm installation. You will need the following files from the extracted tgz files to build some other packages as well:

  1. (required) Packages/adlmapps*.rpm to build adlmapps
  2. (required) Packages/adskidentitymanager*.rpm to build adskidentitymanager
  3. (required) Packages/adsklicensing*.rpm to build adsklicensing
  4. (required) Packages/Maya*.rpm to build this package
  5. (optional) Packages/package.zip to build maya-arnold
  6. (optional) Packages/Bifrost*.rpm to build maya-bifrost
  7. (optional) Packages/AdobeSubstance3DforMaya*.rpm to build maya-substance
  8. (optional) Packages/MayaUSD*.rpm to build maya-usd-bin, if you don't want to download directly from GitHub
  9. (optional) Packages/LookdevX.rpm to build maya-lookdevx

Packages 1 and 3 are required to use Maya and 5 to 9 are plugins that can be installed when needed.

You will need to move the rpm files to the directory containing the corresponding package's PKGBUILD file. Please refer to the AUR wiki for further installation details, since AUR helpers may or may not work with this package.

After installation, you may wish to enable the Autodesk Licensing service with systemctl enable adsklicensing.service. This service is started automatically one time when installing and removing this package.

Note that the install file will automatically register and deregister Maya with the licensing service if you are using the adsklicensing package. You may need to restart the adsklicensing service and reinstall Maya if adsklicensing was upgraded and running at the same time.

Launch Maya and log into your Autodesk account or enter your product serial to check out a license. Note that Wayland is currently not supported by the licensing software.

Please note that the Maya executable is patched to launch with the --single-process flag to address launch issues with the Application Home. You may try to opt out of this patch if this does not present an issue for you.

Troubleshooting:

If you are having the following font error, Failed trying to load font : -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 //, first try the Autodesk recommended commands with your normal permissions.

xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/100dpi
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/75dpi
xset fp rehash

(source)

If you are still seeing font errors, you can try one or more of the following:

  1. Install xorg-mkfontscale and run mkfontscale in /usr/share/fonts. Then re-run the xset commands above.
  2. Try running the xset commands with superuser permissions.
  3. Try enabling and generating the following locales: en_GB ISO-8859-1 en_US ISO-8859-1

If you are having licensing errors, you can refer to this comment/forum post by mac666er recommending you to only use the en_US.UTF-8 locale. Or you may need to set a different default browser as Tellik experienced.

If your launch process hangs at the OpenCL initialization, you may wish to check for OpenCL conflicts as mentioned in this comment by TheSunCat. You may also need to rename/delete the intel-openapi icd file in /etc/OpenCL/vendors as mentioned here.

If you see a black screen, check that Wayland is disabled: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-forum/maya-2025-2026-on-linux/td-p/13617041

Cheers

kokokoshka commented on 2020-05-31 16:13 (UTC)

Can you make me co-maintainer? I want to update package.

wilaze commented on 2020-01-04 04:35 (UTC)

@sid350 what i know is Maya only support Fedora and RHEL/CentOS with rpm. But days ago i tried to install it on my Fedora 31, via official installer and it says like yours "OS is not supported". I dunno how to install it on Fedora anymore. There is no new article about how to do it. I still hope i can install Maya 2020 in my EndeavourOS via this AUR :( still waiting

sid350 commented on 2020-01-03 00:44 (UTC)

What about Maya 2020? When I try to install it via official installer it says OS is not supported :(

wilaze commented on 2019-12-24 01:38 (UTC)
