Installation on Linux

Follow the instructions to install the AKVIS software on a Linux computer. We took AKVIS Coloriage as an example. Other AKVIS programs are installed in the same manner.

You can use only the standalone applications by AKVIS on computers with Linux OS. We are working on the plugins compatibility.

Note: The AKVIS programs are compatible with Linux kernel 5.0+ 64-bit. You can find out the kernel version using the uname -srm command.
