This page describes how to install or upgrade UVLayout onto a Linux system.
1. Decide where you want to keep UVLayout, usually /usr/local/, but it can be in a normal user writable folder if you don't have root access (e.g. in your home folder). Run the following command to extract the supplied software (Note: replace XXXXXX below with the build version of the downloaded file).
 tar xvfoz uvlayout-XXXXXX.tgz --directory=/usr/local
2. To launch UVLayout, run this command for the Professional version ...
 /usr/local/uvlayout-pro/uvlayout-run

... or this command for the Demo version ...

 /usr/local/uvlayout-demo/uvlayout-run
3. If this is the first time you have installed UVLayout, you will need to activate it by cut'n'pasting your license key into the keys file. Instructions on that are here.

Known Problems

  • Plugin mode doesn't work? If you are using your own wrapper script to set up the various environment variables, make sure you pass all command line args to the 'uvlayout' binary.
