Install DaVinci on Linux Mint just copy and paste
Get DaVinci Resolve installed on Linux Mint. Quick and dirty copy & paste.
You will basically run the script file to convert the .run package into a .deb package which is then used to install Resolve on Mint. I have included the terminal commands in this video description so you can copy and paste instead of typing all those commands. Follow these 9-steps for success.
Step #1
Go to these websites and download files:
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/prod...
DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_20.2.2_Linux.zip
https://www.danieltufvesson.com/maker...
makeresolvedeb_1.8.3_multi.sh.tar.gz
(change to Studio filename or newer version number names as required)
Step #2
GUI commands
Using GUI create directory /home/resolvedeb
Using GUI copy above files from Downloads to resolvedeb directory
Step #3
Terminal commands:
(change to newer version number names if required)
$ cd resolvedeb
$ ls
DaVinci_Resolve_20.2.2_Linux.zip makeresolvedeb_1.8.3_multi.sh
Step #4
$ unzip DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_20.2.2_Linux.zip
Archive: DaVinci_Resolve_20.2.2_Linux.zip
inflating: DaVinci_Resolve_20.2.2_Linux.run
inflating: Linux_Installation_Instructions.html
Step #5
$ tar zxvf makeresolvedeb_1.8.3_multi.sh.tar.gz
makeresolvedeb_1.8.3_multi.sh
$ ls
DaVinci_Resolve_20.2.2_Linux.run makeresolvedeb_1.8.3_multi.sh
DaVinci_Resolve_20.2.2_Linux.zip makeresolvedeb_1.8.3_multi.sh.tar.gz
Linux_Installation_Instructions.html
Step #6
Install these required packages:
$ sudo apt-get install fakeroot
$ sudo apt-get install xorriso
Step #7
Now make the .deb package, this takes lots of disc space (7gig not enough) and several minutes.
$ ./makeresolvedeb_1.8.3_multi.sh DaVinci_Resolve_20.2.2_Linux.run
lyn@lyn-Aspire-TC-895:~$ cd resolvedeb
lyn@lyn-Aspire-TC-895:~/resolvedeb$ ./makeresolvedeb_1.8.3_multi.sh DaVinci_Resolve_20.2.2_Linux.run
MakeResolveDeb 1.8.3

Step #8
Now install Resolve with the following terminal command:
$ sudo dpkg -i davinci-resolve_20.2.2-mrd1.8.3_amd64.deb
Step #9
Once the install has completed, you will possibly experience an error during first startup concerning configuration issues related to your system video card. If so, we have a separate video for that problem.
Step #10
This optional step will remove DaVinci Resolve if desired.
$ sudo apt-get remove davinci-resolve
