What is the simplest way to install KeenTools into Nuke?

The simplest way to install KeenTools for Nuke is to run the installer.

Does it work in Nuke Indie?

Yes, but only in Nuke 12.2v4 and newer.

What exactly does the installer do?

The installer copies KeenTools files to Nuke plugins directory:
• OSX: /Library/Application Support/NUKE/x.x/plugins/
• Linux: /usr/local/NUKE/x.x/plugins/
• Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\NUKE\x.x\plugins\
where x.x is Nuke version (10.5 for example).

I’ve installed KeenTools but I can’t see it in Nuke. What should I do?

You should check you’ve installed the correct KeenTools bundle (i. e. OS and Nuke versions match yours). If versions match and you can’t see KeenTools in Nuke try to perform manual installation.

• add the path to KeenTools folder to Nuke path by adding nuke.pluginAddPath('PATH_TO_KEENTOOLS') to init.py file.

How can I perform manual installation working for multiple Nuke versions and operating systems?

• copy KeenTools folders from ‘manual’ directories for every Nuke version and operating system you want to any place you want;

For example if you want to work with different versions of Nuke on Windows you may:
• unpack WIN_KEEN_TOOLS.zip to C:/KeenTools (could be any directory);
• write the next lines to %HOMEPATH%/.nuke/init.py:
nuke.pluginAddPath('C:/KeenTools/NUKE8.0/manual/KeenTools')
nuke.pluginAddPath('C:/KeenTools/NUKE9.0/manual/KeenTools')
nuke.pluginAddPath('C:/KeenTools/NUKE10.0/manual/KeenTools')
nuke.pluginAddPath('C:/KeenTools/NUKE10.5/manual/KeenTools')
KeenTools will automatically choose which installation should be loaded.
