Instructions:
I’m including example comands for linux beginners and for the sake of simplicity the installation destination will be /opt/. If you are installing the software some place else, remember to update the path while following the instructions.
1. Navigate to the downloaded folder.Copy the ‘rlm_16.1BL1_linux_x64’ folder to the installation destination of your choice.
sudo cp -r rlm_16.1BL1_linux_x64 /opt/reprise_rlm/
2. Start RLM.
/opt/reprise_rlm/rlm_16.1BL1_linux_x64/rlm
3. Navigate to the downloaded folder. Copy the ‘hdrlightstudio_lin_8.2.4.2024.1029’ folder to installation destination of your choice.
sudo cp -r hdrlightstudio_lin_8.2.4.2024.1029 /opt/hdrlightstudio/
4. Start HDR.
/opt/hdrlightstudio/hdrlightstudio_lin_8.2.4.2024.1029/HDRLightStudio
Select “Connect to floating RLM” and use these credentials:
server:localhost
port:5053
5. If everything went well, then we can create a systemd service to run RLM at startup. For that create a text file named ‘rlm.service’ at /etc/systemd/system:
cd /etc/systemd/system
sudo nano rlm.service
and paste the contents seen below:
[Unit]
After=network.target
Description=Reprise License Management Server
[Service]
# Optional environment variables
Environment=RLM_LICENSE=/opt/reprise_rlm/rlm_16.1BL1_linux_x64/lightmap.lic
Environment=RLM_PATH=/opt/reprise_rlm/rlm_16.1BL1_linux_x64/
Type=simple
User=rlmuser
WorkingDirectory=/opt/reprise_rlm/rlm_16.1BL1_linux_x64/
Environment=RLM_LICENSE=/opt/reprise_rlm/rlm_16.1BL1_linux_x64/lightmap.lic
ExecStart=/opt/reprise_rlm/rlm_16.1BL1_linux_x64/rlm -dlog /opt/reprise_rlm/rlm_debug.log
Restart=always
TimeoutStartSec=60s
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
save and exit (ctrl+o and ctrl+x)
6. We need to enable this newly created service so it can start automatically upon reboot.
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable rlm.service
sudo systemctl start rlm.service
systemctl status rlm.service
After reboot, check if rlm.service is active
systemctl status rlm.service
If it has not started automatically, it might have been blocked by SElinux. Which can be easily fixed with:
sudo restorecon -v /opt/reprise_rlm/rlm_16.1BL1_linux_x64/rlm
For DEB based distros, look for an equivalent option in AppArmor.
7. [Optional] Copy the ‘hdrlightstudio.desktop’ file to ~/.local/share/applications to integrate a shortcut in your applications menu.
8. Enjoy!
