CHANGELOG.txt | the list of changes done at each version udpate |
1/ Move or copy the module's entire directory tree to a directory which is accessible to all users, such as a network drive
2/ If needed, replace the fourth field of the module description file with the full path to the module's directory tree
3/ Place a copy of the modified module description file into a common directory which all users have in their MAYA_MODULE_PATH environment variables
4/ Have a look at Farm Rendering Deployment, or edit the glmCrowdForMaya.bat, for references about how to setup other environment variables
5/ If needed, set the full path to the Golaem license file to the RLM_LICENSE environment variable.
Extracting the Package (NO ROOT PRIVILEGES NEEDED INSTALLATION)
It is possible to avoid installing the package with root privileges.
In this case, it will be extracted only, and the files automatically created during installation will not be created (mayacrowd.sh and mayacrowd_license.sh).
The command to be used is (obviously 2.X and Maya201X should be completed using your Golaem Crowd version and Maya version):
./GolaemCrowd-2.X-Maya201X-64bit.run -- extract <absolute_path_to_extract_dir>
Notice that there is an empty space between the double dash -- and the extract keyword;
You should then follow the module installation procedure detailed above.
Quiet Mode for Deployment (Silent Installation)
./GolaemCrowd-2.X-Maya201X-64bit.run [-- silent <golaem_license_path>|skip_license [<crowd_install_dir> [<maya_executable_path>]]] (This help can be displayed by running: ./GolaemCrowd-2.X-Maya201X-64bit.run -- help)
./GolaemCrowd-2.X-Maya201X-64bit.run -- silent /opt/Golaem/2011-04-01_120000_JohnDoe.lic /opt/Golaem /usr/autodesk/maya201X-x64/bin/maya201X
./GolaemCrowdRender-2.X-Maya201X-64bit.run -- silent skip_license /opt/Golaem /usr/autodesk/maya201X-x64/bin/maya201X
- There is an empty space between the double dash -- and the silent keyword;
- The command parameters must be set exactly in this order (first license path, then Autodesk Maya executable location and finally Golaem Crowd target location);
- The Autodesk Maya executable location is optional: in this case, a default path is used (e.g. for instance /usr/autodesk/maya201X-x64/bin/maya201X , you need to replace X by your version number) and then the Golaem Crowd installation directory can also be skipped (then default installation directory is used, e.g. /opt/Golaem).
