Installing ORAPHIM

ORAPHIM is designed to be lightweight on initial download while offering powerful scalability as your projects grow. Installing ORAPHIM is straightforward across all major operating systems.

Downloading the Installer

The latest stable release of ORAPHIM is always available via your user portal at ORAPHIM.com. Ensure you are downloading the correct installer for your operating system:

  • Windows: ORAPHIM_Studio_vX.X_Windows.exe
  • macOS: ORAPHIM_Studio_vX.X_macOS.dmg
  • Linux: ORAPHIM_Studio_vX.X_Linux.run

[!WARNING] ORAPHIM relies heavily on GPU acceleration. Before installing, ensure your graphics drivers (NVIDIA Studio Drivers, AMD Radeon PRO, or Intel Arc drivers) are completely up to date.

Windows Installation

  1. Double-click the downloaded .exe file.
  2. If prompted by User Account Control (UAC), click Yes.
  3. The ORAPHIM Setup Wizard will appear. Click Next.
  4. Read and accept the End User License Agreement (EULA).
  5. Choose the installation directory. We recommend leaving it as the default C:\Program Files\ORAPHIM.
  6. Select any additional components:
    • ORAPHIM Core: Required.
    • ORAPHIM Render Node: Optional. Only install this if you are setting up a headless render farm machine.
    • Desktop Shortcut: Optional.
  7. Click Install. The process may take a few minutes as core libraries and the underlying Vulkan engine are configured.
  8. Once complete, click Finish.

  5. To launch, open your Applications folder (or Launchpad) and double-click ORAPHIM.

Linux Installation (CentOS/Ubuntu)

  1. Open a terminal and navigate to your downloads directory.
  2. Make the installer executable: 
    chmod +x ORAPHIM_Studio_vX.X_Linux.run
