Installing Flame Family Applications on Linux

System requirements

System requirements are avaible on the web for Flame, Lustre, Flare, and Flame Assist. Details for the configuration of a certified system, the HP Z840 workstation, can be found in the HP Z840 Workstation Certified Hardware Setup Guide
The installation package for the application to install.
Root access to your system. The default root account password on an Autodesk workstation is password.

Hardware Validation tool

When launching the Flame Family application for the first time, the Hardware Validation Tool is automatically run and displayed on the screen. This only happens the first time you run the Flame Family application, unless the hardware changes.

The Hardware Validation tool is bundled with the Linux version of the Flame family products. The tool runs a series of checks on the workstation's hardware configuration to make sure the application can run properly, and assigns one of three statuses to each check: PASSED, FAILED, or WARNING. It has a main summary tab to display an overview of the hardware checks. Details are grouped on other tabs, depending on the hardware detected:

RPMs
Kernel config
Workstation
Graphic and Tablet
Video I/O
Network
Fiber SCSI

The tool can be accessed once the Flame product is installed:

When logged in as a Flame Family User, a Hardware Validation tool icon is displayed on the Desktop as well as in the Autodesk menu of the Linux main menu.
In the Flame Family application menu (at the bottom right of the screen), by selecting Help > Hardware Validation.
