# Aegnux A convenient way to install Adobe After Effects on Linux using Wine. Heavily inspired by [AeNux](https://github.com/cutefishaep/AeNux) by cutefish. **⚠️ SOFTWARE IS NOT IN THE RELEASE STATE** **⚠️ SOFTWARE CONTAINS BINARY BLOBS (explaination is in the bottom of this README)** [Download Flatpak](https://github.com/relativemodder/com.relative.Aegnux/releases/latest) if you want to install it on any distro. *If you're interested in the project's roadmap, check out **ROADMAP.md***. ## License disclaimer This project is intended for educational and experimental use only. Please respect software licensing agreements and use responsibly. The primary objective is to explore Linux compatibility for creative applications. After Effects is a commercial software developed by Adobe. ## Known downsides - Limited hardware acceleration - NVIDIA GPUs only - UI Rendering - Occasional flickering with certain plugins (e.g., Flow) - Memory Management - Potential crashes under heavy RAM usage (need to tweak your system config) ## How to install Native installation: the only tested environment is Arch Linux on KDE Plasma Wayland. ### Install dependencies ```bash sudo pacman -Syu pyside6 python-requests # Arch Linux ``` ### Clone the repository ```bash https://github.com/relativemodder/aegnux cd aegnux ``` ### Run ```bash ./run.sh ``` ## We need help! You're welcome to contribute to this project. You can improve translations, AMD GPU support, overall stability, etc. ## If you're doubt about origins about binary files... - Wine (compiled and stripped) - official repo - msxml3.dll - MS Windows - Visual C++ Redist pack - [TechPowerUp](https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/) - kitty - [Binary releases](https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/releases) - cabextract - [Binary RPM](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/cabextract) - winetricks - it's already the source itself. IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THIS, you're welcome to write additional pipeline to compile these files from scratch.
