5. INSTALLATION

This section details how to install Autodesk Nastran onto your system. Autodesk Nastran is supplied as
a single Linux archive file which can be expanded into a set of install packages and an installation script
that supports both workstation installs and thin client installs. In order to provide compatibility with
broadest range of Linux distributions possible, both RPM packages and simple compressed folder
installation methods are supported. Additionally, installation into standard user locations is now
supported.

5.1. Files Required for Installation

A complete installation requires 2 items in addition to this installation document:


1. A package containing all the necessary files, which will have a file name similar to that shown
below. Exact version numbers may vary from that shown here.
Autodesk_Nastran_2021.0.0.F-151.0.0.57884_Linux_64bit.tar
2. Licensing information. This will be the internet name of your Autodesk Nastran license server,
either in the form of a numerical IP address, or machine.domain.com.

This package does not provide an Autodesk License server. Autodesk provides license servers for a
number of operating systems and your retailer can provide the appropriate license server for your
requirements.

5.2. Installation

This section provides the steps required to install Autodesk Nastran. The following package names are
provided as examples and may vary from that shown. Please adjust the following commands and
packages based on the packages you have been provided.

1. Unpack the provided package using the following command. This command will create a sub-
directory in your current location that contains the files necessary to install Autodesk Nastran 2021
(The package version numbers may be slightly greater than shown below).

> tar xf Autodesk_Nastran_2020.0.0.F-11.0.0.84Autodesk_Nastran_2021.0.0.F-


15.0.0.578_Linux_64bit.tar

2. Change your working folder to the created folder:

> cd ./Autodesk_Nastran_2021.0.0.F

3. Start the installer by entering the following command. If you wish to do a system install you will
need to start the installer from a terminal prompt as the superuser or using the ‘sudo’ option. If the
installer detects insufficient privileges to perform a system install, it will reduce the install options
presented to performing only a Thin-client or custom install. On a terminal in which a standard
user or superuser is logged in, start the installer like so:

> ./install.sh
