Installation and licensing an evaluation (Linux)

To view v13.x documentation, go to the top level of the legacy documentation.

This page applies to Harlequin v14.0r0 and later; and to Harlequin Core but not Harlequin MultiRIP

From Harlequin Core v14 installers are no longer provided. The Harlequin Core SDK evaluation clrip and customer-specific distributions are delivered as .zip archives.

This page provides step-by-step instructions to install and set up the required LDK components after extracting the zip file to your computer.

Prerequisites

Operating system: See Release Notes (Harlequin Core) for supported operating systems.

distributions

Linux builds of Harlequin Core are formally supported on Red Hat and Ubuntu (see Release notes for details). If you wish to evaluate on other Linux distributions, please ask Global Graphics Software for assistance; the following instructions may not be correct or sufficient to get you up and running easily.

Processor: See Release Notes (Harlequin Core) for minimum hardware requirements.

The LDK utility ldkutil requires libssl.so.10. You should check that this is installed. If it is not, you must install it before the ldkutil utility can be run.

Unpacking

Once you have copied the installation package (e.g. Evaluation-URW-HHR-14.x-ubuntu-amd64.zip) to your machine, extract it to your chosen location.

This will result in the chosen folder containing components and directories needed to run the Harlequin Core.

Licensing

Before running the RIP, you may need to install the LDK runtime and license the RIP. If you have been provided with a license (product) key, do the following:

From the Terminal:

Change to the extracted RIP directory
Change to the LDK/RTE directory
Run sudo ./dinst

This will install the LDK runtime. You can check this has been successful by opening the weblink in /LDK/Utils or opening this webpage http://localhost:1947/_int_/config.html

To activate a product key for a new license (SL or VL):

Change to LDK/Utils
Run ./ldkutil -initial <product key> -sl

If successful, ldkutil will report 'Activation successful'.

For more information on LDK see the LDK Guide.

Setting the locale on Linux

See Setting the locale (Linux and macOS)

Running clrip

You should now be able to run the clrip test harness, see Running the Harlequin Core (Linux, macOS, and Windows).

Your LDK protection key ID is displayed in the command line window when running clrip.
