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

Can you give me access as co-maintainer? I would gladly accept it :)

Maya 2019 is now supported for Linux. https://linuxhint.com/install_autodesk_maya2019_ubuntu/

Time to update the installer...

@joksim

post your update, i update script

joksim commented on 2018-09-29 20:10 (UTC)

You can obtain Maya 2018 for Linux using the student method as described here:

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/customer-service/account-management/education-program/create-education-account/create-account-students-educators

The script needs to be updated accordingly (hashes, filenames, etc.) and can be run as a local package build (using makepkg....) I can post my adapted script if needed...

@luciferHasa It seems that Maya 2018 isn't available for "normal users" on Linux anymore.

Requires a multi-user license, not supported with single-user license.

hello will this be upgraded to maya version 2018.1 soon? :)

z3ntu commented on 2017-11-11 15:47 (UTC)

@oljik: Just upload the pkgbuild to pastebin and I'll have a look at it. If it's good (and working), I can replace it and give you co-maintainer rights.

Airbar commented on 2017-11-11 14:52 (UTC)

@oljik Hey, i would really love to get your PKGBUILD for Maya. Would be nice if you could upload it here on AUR.

oljik commented on 2017-11-08 19:12 (UTC)

I have built my own PKGBUILD 2 years ago, by reading houdini and many PKGBUILDs. However, I didn't have time to upload it. Then I went to windows. Now I am back and will upload them soon. You can delete this package. I have better packaged one. It can be used for all maya version to install seperately and Adlmapps, FlexnetServer/Client have seperate pkgbuild with systemd service files for selective install. I didn't add maya-setup like you. Does someone need it? I think adlmapps is working fine for registration.
