For Macintosh's operating system there is an installer that will guide you through the entire installation process. The installer automatically detects the installed Maya version on your local drives and displays them in the appropriate fields. Choose the desired Maya version(s) and click on “Install”. The files can be found under:
/Applications/RFRK2013RFRK2014/
To bind the RFRK to Maya, start the software and open the "Plugin Manager". Tick the checkboxes and close the manager. Now, the RFRK tools are ready to use.

For Linux there are two different installers. The “deb” and “rpm” packages will install the RenderKit in the
/opt/RealflowRFRK2013RealflowRFRK2014
directory and will configure the Maya scripts automatically. Maya must be installed in its default directory:

If you use a Debian or Debian-like distribution (Ubuntu, etc.), open a shell program, log in as root and enter:
# dpkg –i rfrk2103rfrk2014*.deb
To uninstall the RenderKit2, the command must be:
# dpkg –r rfrk2013rfrk2014
RPM Packages
If your Linux distribution uses RPM packages, log in as root and enter the following to the shell:
# sh rfrk2013rfrk2014*.rpm.sh
Once the license has been accepted, enter as root user:
rpm –Uhv rfrk2013rfrk2014*.rpm
To remove the RFRK, use this command:
# rpm –e rfrk2013rfrk2014
Please note that in Linux the RenderMan procedurals are in a separate package that has to be installed as well. The appropriate “rfrk2013“rfrk2014-rms-procedurals*.deb/rpm” file is already part of the RFRK distribution for Maya and does not have to be downloaded separately.
