< h1 > Davinci Resolve Workstation< / h1 >
< hr >
< p > I do my editing on Davinci Resolve. Since I am trying to get editing and gaming
off of Windows, I created a Davinci Resolve workstation that is based on Rocky
Linux 8, the OS Davinci officially supports. While Davinci can be installed on
other distros, it doesn't work on my < span class = "createlink" > distro of choice< / span > , thus
might as well create a dedicated VM for it. Since my < span class = "createlink" > workstation< / span > uses
Proxmox, I can easily use different distros.< / p >
< p > This guide thus documents my installation process.< / p >
< h2 > 1) Install Rocky Linux 8.6< / h2 >
< p > You can download the < a href = "https://downloads.blackmagicdesign.com/DaVinciResolve/DaVinci-Resolve-Linux-RockyLinux_8.6.iso" > BlackMagic's

< h2 > 4) Install < code > awesome< / code > window manager< / h2 >
< p > I only care for tiling window managers. Unfortunately, my manager of choice
< code > awesome< / code > is not available on Rocky Linux 8. I thus have to compile it myself,
which involces compiling its build dependencies.< / p >
2025-01-12 02:49:54 +00:00
< p > Compiling awesome on Rocky Linux 8.10 requires the following dependencies (in order of build):
* lua
* lua-markdown
* lua-lgi
* lua-filesystem
* lua-ldoc
* lua-penlight
* xapian-xire
* doxygen (note: this ought to be fc29 version)
* libxdg-basedir
* xcb-util
* xcb-util-wm
* xcb-util-keysymx
* xorg-x11-util-macros
* xcb-util-xrm
* libxkb
* xcb-util-image
* xcb-util-renderutil< / p >
< p > To build these, you have to go through various iterations of fetching
source RPMs from < a href = "https://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/28/Everything/source/tree/Packages" > fedora 28 src repo< / a > ,
installing the builddeps and finally rebuilding using < code > rpbbuild< / code > . Thus,
for lua, you would:
< code >
wget https://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/28/Everything/source/tree/Packages/l/lua-5.3.4-10.fc28.src.rpm
sudo dnf builddep lua-*.src.rpm --nobest --refresh
rpmbuild --rebuild lua-.src.rpm
< / code > < / p >
2025-01-12 19:58:52 +00:00
< p > To facilitate installing the built dependencies, you can use < code > createrepo< / code > to
create a repo in < code > /home/user/rpmbuild< / code > and pointing a new dnf repo to this
folder.< / p >
2025-01-12 02:49:54 +00:00
< p > Specific notes:
* doxygen src rpm should come Fedora 29
2025-01-12 19:58:52 +00:00
* lua-ldoc and lua-penlight depend on each other, thus you will need to
temporarily activate the fc28 repo by adding this in
< code > /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo< / code >
2025-01-12 02:49:54 +00:00
< code >
[fedora]
name=Fedora 28 - x86_64
metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-28& arch=x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
< / code >
Make sure to disable it after getting lua-ldoc or lua-penlight built.< / p >
2025-01-12 19:58:52 +00:00
< p > After building all of your dependencies, clean-up everything by rolling back to
the transaction before you started installing build dependencies. Use < code > dnf
history info < transaction no> < / code > to find that number and then < code > dnf history
rollback < transaction no> < / code > < / p >
< p > Once everything is rolledback, you can install awesome and < em > just< / em > it's runtime
dependencies, and then refer to archlinux's
< a href = "https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=awesome-gnome" > awesome-gnome< / a >
package or the < a href = "http://web.archive.org/web/20160205182002/http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Quickly_Setting_up_Awesome_with_Gnome" > wiki article it is based
on< / a >
to integrate awesome in gnome.< / p >
< h2 > 5) Install git-annex standalone< / h2 >
2025-01-12 02:49:54 +00:00
2025-01-12 19:58:52 +00:00
< p > I use git-annex to store my footage. Indeed, there isn't a git-annex package, but it is easy to install git-annex
standalone by following < a href = "https://git-annex.branchable.com/install/rpm_standalone/" > upstream's guide< / a > < / p >

< p > I mentionned above that there were other ways to install Davinci on Linux
without having to use Rocky Linux. Here are a few:
