For Ubuntu Linux users
Note: Currently, there are no official Ubuntu installers of Tupi's latest version. MaeFloresta provides a bundle installer easy to use but it is not a .deb package. If you use a Linux distro that is not Debian based, we recommend you to compile Tupi from the source code using one of our manuals.
- 1. Visit our Downloads page, fill the form and click the button “Download Tupi for Free”.
- 2. If your system is 32bit, save the installer called tupiXXX_ubuntu_x86.sh in your computer. Otherwise, download the file called tupiXXX_ubuntu_x64.sh.
- 3. Ensure execution permissions to the installer using the command chmod.
- 4. Execute the installer from console. Note: The installation script will ask for your user password to install some video-format dependencies.
- 5. A new directory will be created with the name *tupi_XXX*. Get in it and execute the Tupi launcher and start making your first 2D animation project! :)
Note: You can move Tupi's installation directory to any other path of your preference or to create a shortcut to the launcher from your desktop, to make easier to start Tupi.
