To Download and install:

  1. Make sure you have one or more of the following OFX compatible host products on Linux:
    Nuke 5.0v1 or greater
    Toxik 2008 SP1 or greater
    Fusion 5.2 or greater

    If you previously installed an older version of Sapphire Plug-ins, the new installation will just replace it. You should not need to uninstall it first.

    rpm -Uvh http://genarts.com/sapphire/SapphireOFX-1.030-1.i386.rpm
    or download the RPM Installer file and install it locally. This installer for both Linux 32 or Linux 64.

    For Ubuntu: first make sure you have the 'ia32-libs' package installed.
    Then download the DEB Installer file (15Mb), become root, and type the command:
    dpkg -i --force-architecture sapphireofx_1.030-1_i386.deb

  4. Restart your host product, and the new plug-ins should appear in your effects menu.
