# Installing on Mac

The installation bundle installs the entire Nuke family, including Hiero and HieroPlayer, and icons for the various components appear in your installation folder.

Note: Some modern anti-virus software may wrongly assume that certain files in the Nuke installer are suspicious. Examples of these files include libnuke-12.0.0.so and geolib-runtime-prof.so. If you have trouble installing Nuke on your machine, try disabling your anti-virus software before installation. Don't forget to restart your anti-virus software after installation.

# Installing with the User Interface (UI)

| 1. | Download the correct .dmg installation file from our website at https://www.foundry.com/products/hiero/download

| 2. | Double-click on the .dmg to start the installation.

| 3. | Follow the on-screen instructions to install Hiero. By default, Hiero is installed to /Applications/Nuke<version>

| 4. | Proceed to Launching on Mac.

# Installing from the Terminal

| 1. | Download the correct .dmg installation file from our website at https://www.foundry.com/products/hiero/download

| 2. | Launch a Terminal window.

| 3. | To mount the .dmg installation file, use the hdiutil attach command with the directory where you saved the installation file. For example, if you saved the installation file in /Builds/Nuke, use the following command:

hdiutil attach /Builds/Nuke/Nuke<version>-mac-x86_64.dmg

| 4. | Read and acknowledge the End User License Agreement (EULA) by pressing Y at the end of the text.

Tip: If you've already read and agreed to the terms of the EULA, you can skip to the end of the text by pressing Q.

The installer is mounted as a disk image.

| 5. | Enter the following command:

pushd /Volumes/Nuke<version>-mac-x86_64

This stores the directory path in memory, so it can be returned to later.

| 6. | To install Hiero, copy the Nuke<version> directory to the Applications directory using the following command:

cp -R Nuke<version> /Applications/

| 7. | Enter the following command:

popd

This changes to the directory stored by the pushd command.

| 8. | Finally, use the following command to eject the mounted disk image:

hdiutil detach /Volumes/Nuke<version>-mac-x86_64
