Step 1:⌗

Use Linux Mint’s built in extraction tools to extract the contents of the .rpm file

Step 2:⌗

Copy the extracted folders to the following locations:

For Maya 2017:

sudo cp -rv opt/Autodesk /opt/
sudo cp -rv usr/autodesk /usr/
sudo cp -rv var/opt/Autodesk /var/opt/

For adlmapps:

sudo cp -rv opt/Autodesk/Adlm /opt/Autodesk/
sudo cp -rv var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/* /var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/

For adlmflexnetclient:

sudo cp -rv opt/Autodesk/Adlm/FLEXnet /opt/Autodesk/Adlm/

For adlmflexnetserver:

sudo cp -rv opt/flexnetserver /opt/

Step 3:⌗ 

sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/autodesk/maya2017/lib/libcrypto.so.10
sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 /usr/autodesk/maya2017/lib/libssl.so.10

ln -s /usr/lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.5 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3

Step 4:⌗

Install additional dependencies

sudo apt-get install csh libjpeg62 libssl-dev libfam0 libcurl3

Install fonts

sudo apt-get install -y ttf-liberation xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi

Step 5:⌗

Maya will error saying libXp.so.6. Unfortunatly this is nolonger packaged in ubuntu or mint, so you need to download libXp6 from http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/libxp6/download and install it

Step 6:⌗ 

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.5 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so.8.0.2 /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62

Step 7:⌗ 

sudo mkdir /usr/tmp
sudo chmod 777 /usr/tmp

Step 8:⌗

Fix segmentation fault error
