Install Fusion 360 on Arch Linux

IMPORTANT

The script was modified to support multiple program installs and the project was moved to wiener. To install Fusion 360, go to the mentioned repository and follow the instructions there! The specific install command is the following:

./wiener.sh fusion360 install

DEPRECATED

A script for installing Fusion 360 on Arch Linux through WINE.

The script automatically downloads and installs the program on your system and it also installs any prerequisites first, so you don't have to worry about them.

Requirements

Before installing, please make sure to have the appropriate graphics drivers installed. Reffer to Lutris and Arch wikis.

Download

To download the script, open a new terminal window, navigate to a folder in which you want to save the script (e.g. cd ~/Downloads) and copy the following code snippet to the terminal:

curl -Lo fusion360_install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kndndrj/Fusion-360-Arch-Linux-Script/main/fusion360_install.sh; \
chmod +x fusion360_install.sh

That should have created a new file called fusion360_install.sh.

Alternatively you can just clone the git repository.

Usage

Simple Install

For a simple installation, just run:

./fusion360_install.sh install

Custom Install Directory

If you want to specify your own install directory and a directory to store downloads to, run:

./fusion360_install.sh install -p "your/install/directory" -t "your/downloads/directory"

Installation Failed

If the installation process was interrupted or you have any other problems during install, try using install-clean instead of install. For example:

./fusion360_install.sh install-clean -p "your/install/directory" ...

Uninstalling

To uninstall, simply run:

./fusion360_install.sh uninstall

And follow the on-screen instructions.

Special Cases

If you have any other needs, read "help". You find it by running:

./fusion360_install.sh -h

Problems

Can't find a ".desktop" file

First check in ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Autodesk/. Wine should have put the file there. If that is not the case, a backup start script has been placed in installation directory named "fusion360". If you are having trouble with this app launcher, just open the file with a text editor and follow the instructions there.

Stuck loading after launch and the work area is all messed up

The first launch of the application is usually laggy on the sign in screen, be patient and it will work! Set your Graphics mode to OpenGL (User icon >> Preferences >> General >> Graphics driver) and restart the program.

Error popup: we ran into a serious problem

You might have installed or updated the graphics drivers without doing a reboot. So try rebooting before doing anything else. If even that doesn't fix the problem, try doing a clean install.
