Install DuME on Linux
Dependencies
All dependencies are included in DuME, in ways that vary according to your chosen installation method, except FFplay, which is needed to preview medias and for realtime output.
FFplay can usually be easily installed through your package manager - included in the FFmpeg package - for example with $ sudo apt install ffmpeg on Debian, Ubuntu and other debian-based distributions.
Using the installer
The easiest way to install DuME on Linux is to use the unified installer. Just run the installer, and follow the steps.
Note
There is a known issue where the installer may show an error during the final installation step (when it extracts the Blender add-on).
This error can be safely ignored.
Tip
The installer also installs the DuME maintenance tool which can be used to uninstall DuME.
Universal AppImage
The DuME app is available as an AppImage which should run on all Linux distributions. Just mark the file as executable and run it.
Warning
The DCC add-ons, for Blender, Maya, After Effects, etc. need to be installed separately when using the AppImage.
Debian and debian-based distributions like Ubuntu
The DuME app is available as a .deb package you can install with your usual package manager.
Warning
The DCC add-ons, for Blender, Maya, After Effects, etc. need to be installed separately when using the deb package.
Portable version
A portable version is downloadable as a .tar.xz archive; this version may be used on any computer even if you don’t have admin rights, and can be saved to an external device like a USB drive. Just unzip all the files on your drive, and run dume to launch DuME.
Warning
The DCC add-ons, for Blender, Maya, After Effects, etc. need to be installed separately when using the portable version.
