RubyEncoder for Linux is available in two packages - with or without GUI. You may choose one and download from your user profile. Both GUI and CLI packages are packed to tar.gz. For Linux we recommend that you install to /usr/local or your home directory /home/username.

 

Command line encoder and tools are included with the GUI installation for Linux. You may find them within the installation folder after installing the application. Note, the command line encoder is named 'rgencoder' to distinguish it from the GUI application.

 

The following instruction is expecting you use a terminal for installation. The downloaded installation package may have the following names according to the OS, platform and version of the encoder:

 

RubyEncoder-3-Evaluation-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz

RubyEncoder-3-Evaluation-Linux-x86_64-CLI.tar.gz

RubyEncoder-3-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz

RubyEncoder-3-Linux-x86_64-CLI.tar.gz

 

Unpack the downloaded encoder installation file.
