Install Maya 2026 on Ubuntu 22.04

Step to Install and running Autodesk Maya 2026 on Ubuntu

1. Install Package :

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install -y libaudiofile1 libxss1 libgconf-2-4 libxrandr2 libxcursor1 libxcomposite1 libxdamage1 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrender1 libxtst6 libxxf86vm1 libgl1-mesa-glx libglu1-mesa libegl1-mesa libxkbcommon-x11-0 libxkbfile1 libxmu6 libxpm4 libxaw7 libxinerama1 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6 libxft2 libxss1 libgconf-2-4 rpm alien
   

2. Download Maya 2026, later will need to convert .rpm to .deb

   

3. Extract file :

   mkdir maya2026
   tar -xzf Autodesk_Maya_2026_1_Update_ML_Linux_64bit.tgz -C maya2026
   cd maya2026/
   
   
   

4. Convert

   sudo alien -vc *.rpm
   

5. Install licensing :

   sudo dpkg -i adlmapps31_31.0.4-1_amd64.deb
   sudo dpkg -i adskflexnetclient_11.18.3-2_amd64.deb
   sudo dpkg -i adskflexnetserveripv6_11.19.4-2_amd64.deb
   sudo dpkg -i adsklicensing15.1.0.12339_0-1_amd64.deb
   

6. Install adODIS (It comes in Maya extracted package), this package is dangerous, you need to careful read the term and condition, and force you to accept. :

   ./AdODIS-installer.run
   

7. Install dummy webkit2gtk3

   Can create own .rpm package by using tutorial found on autodesk forum or use mine download from this repo.

   Install these package :

   note: Don't use libwebkit2gtk-4.1

   sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
   sudo apt install libwebkitgtk-6.0-4
   

   sudo rpm --define "_dbpath /var/lib/rpm" -ivh --nodeps --force webkit2gtk3-1-0.x86_64.rpm
   mkdir -p /etc/rpm
   

   echo '%_dbpath /var/lib/rpm' | sudo tee /etc/rpm/macros
   %_dbpath /var/lib/rpm
   

   Need to test if rpm called success :

   rpm -q webkit2gtk3
   

   Show :

   webkit2gtk3-1-0.x86_64
   

8. Create symlink for tls cert because maya is try to check cert on /etc/pki/tls/certs but on Ubuntu it on different path /etc/ssl/certs/

   mkdir -p /etc/pki/tls/certs
   ln -sf /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
   

9. Install Maya 2026

   sudo dpkg -i maya2026-64_2026.1-4785_amd64.deb
   

10. Run maya

    P/s :

    If still cant run, something you can try :

    install adskIdentityManager, but adODIS should automatic handle this.

    remove and reinstall adsklicensing.

    restart machine.

    set your default browser to google-chrome.

    after launch maya launch google-chrome also.
