# Installing DaVinci Resolve (Studio) on Fedora 44
I have DaVinci Resolve Studio, as well as some of the BlackMagic hardware. They all support Linux but Resolve doesn't work out of the box on Fedora 43 or 44. The fixes are pretty easy, though.
First, we need to install some dependencies:
sudo dnf install -y libxcrypt-compat python3.11 python3.11-libs
Next, to run the installer, we need to add the SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK environment variable:
SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 ./DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_21.0_Linux.run
At this point I have Resolve installed to /opt/resolve but it won't start. Running /opt/resolve/bin/resolve from the command line gives me this error:
./resolve: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_once_init_leave_pointer
This is caused by some outdated libraries that are bundled into the install package. Fortunately, all we need to do is remove them and let Resolve find the newest ones we have on our system:
cd /opt/resolve/lib
sudo rm libglib*
sudo rm libgio*
sudo rm libgmodule*
After this, Resolve starts normally.
