====== Nuke ======

Nuke is a closed source application developed by the Foundry.

It installs on Slackware the same way as on Red Hat or Ubuntu.

Download the installer.

Run the installer. The `--target` option is mandatory:

<code>
$ su
# mkdir /opt/nuke
# ./Nuke-linux-x86-release-64.run --target /opt/mari
</code>

You must accept the EULA to proceed.
====Licensing====

Foundry uses the `FountryLicenseUtility` (FLU) to register the application. Run FLU and point it to your license file:

<code>
./FoundryLicenseUtility -l $HOME/FoundryLicensing/foundry.lic 
</code>

There are various places you can place the Foundry License file:

  * $HOME/FoundryLicensing/
  * /usr/local/foundry/RLM/
  * $HOME/FoundryLicensing/

Alternately, you or your organisation may use a licensing server. This can be reached after launching Nuke.


====Alternatives====

Nuke is closed source. Unless you pay for a full license, it is illegal to use it for commercial purposes. Open source alternatives include a mix of [[natron|Natron]] and [[blender|Blender]].
