    JobType Installation

    Some of the application interfaces construct a commandline that is then run directly on the Workers and do not require any additional installation. Other application interfaces (like Maya, 3dsMax, and XSI) are controlled via (perl or python) scripts. These scripts are installed on the Worker by installing the desired jobtypes.

    This is required only for the Workers running the Jobtypes as most are controlled by Perl (with the exception of the cmdline and cmdrange).
    Typically, Linux and Mac OS X come with Perl already installed. If not, RPMs should be available on the distribution CD or by download from the Internet. For Windows, free Perl distributions can be downloaded from ActiveState at www.activestate.com. On Windows, Qube is compatible with Perl 5.6 to Perl 5.14.
