Hi, and thanks a lot for the script.

I'm having a trouble using it, After failing to install maya2017 and removing it.
The error I'm having is

libpng-1.5.30/test-pngvalid-full.sh
libpng-1.5.30/pngbar.jpg
libpng-1.5.30/libpng-config.in

make: *** No rule to make target 'uninstall'.  Stop.
We hope Autodesk Maya 2019 was installed successfully.

After I ran
sudo apt remove maya2017-64
Is it really the problem of collision between installations? have any Idea what should I do?
Thanks!

Huge thank you!
Takes hours to complete but works wonders.

I needed to add this because I had an error message about libpcre16-3:
sudo apt install -y libpcre16-3
(I did it after installation but might be inserted in the ## Install Dependencies part).

Important note for users : keep the license ready to be entered during install.
(it worked with a single user license, which is said not to work officially on maya2019 linux).

Had to run maya with sudo, or it would crash during startup.

Thanks again for the great work.

Another thing:
there is a python incompatibility in hashlib and ssl modules between the default modules (RHEL/CentOS/Fedora) and the Debian/Ubuntu.
It is documented in 2 README files found after install in /usr/autodesk/maya2019/support/python/2.7.11

As per READMEs, you need to run this :

cd /usr/autodesk/maya2019/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload
sudo mv _hashlib.so rhel_hashlib.so
sudo cp /usr/autodesk/maya2019/support/python/2.7.11/ubuntu_hashlib.so _hashlib.so

cd /usr/autodesk/maya2019/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload
sudo mv _ssl.so rhel_ssl.so
sudo cp /usr/autodesk/maya2019/support/python/2.7.11/ubuntu_ssl.so _ssl.so

stuck at this command line
