Installation

From Omtwiki

Automatic install has been ditched due to changes in my priority.. sorry


Case 1: You have an older version of OMT installed

  • Copy Maya.env into your "../[username]/maya/x.x" dir (Linux and Windows) or "/Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/8.5" on OSX
  • Open Maya.env in your favorite text editor (fx. notepad) and change the paths to point to your omtoolbox directory
  • Delete ../[username]/maya/x.x/modules/OMToolbox.module (Just to clean up the old mess)
  • Restart Maya


Case 2: You have both a Maya.env and userSetup.mel file, both containing stuff.

  • Open op the attached Maya.env with your favorite text editor (fx. notepad) and change the paths to point to your omtoolbox directory
  • Now copy the paths one at a time and paste them into your already existing Maya.env at the end of the lines starting with "MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH" and "PYTHONPATH" accordingly. Remember to seperate the new paths with a ";" on windows and a ":" on linux/mac
  • Copy the content of the attached userSetup.mel into the buttom of your existing userSetup.mel
  • Restart Maya


Case 3: You have a clean Maya install with nonexisting userSetup.mel and an empty Maya.env file

  • Copy Maya.env into your "../[username]/maya/x.x" dir for Linux/Windows or "/Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/8.5" for OSX
  • Open Maya.env in your favorite text editor (fx. notepad) and change the paths to point to your omtoolbox directory
  • Copy userSetup.mel into your "../[username]/maya/x.x/scripts" dir for linux/windows or "/Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/8.5/scripts" for OSX
  • Restart Maya
