Additionally, when you start Maya after following the above steps, you may see some python hashlib errors on the shell. You can use the following workaround to fix those issues:

Backup the original hashlib package shipped with maya python:

sudo mv /usr/autodesk/maya2020/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_hashlib.so /usr/autodesk/maya2020/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/backup_hashlib.so.orig

Symlink the system python hashlib to maya directory:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_hashlib.x86_64-linux-gnu.so /usr/autodesk/maya2020/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_hashlib.so

Same can be done for the Maya-USD packages:

chmod +x ./MayaUSD_0.7.0_Maya2020_Linux.run
./MayaUSD_0.7.0_Maya2020_Linux.run

Choose to extract the package.

fakeroot alien -vc MayaUSD-0.7.0-202101191208-57c9fe5-maya-2020/MayaUSD2020-202101191208-57c9fe5-0.7.0-1.x86_64.rpm 
sudo dpkg -i mayausd2020-202101191208-57c9fe5_0.7.0-2_amd64.deb
