Install Davinci Resolve 17 Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, and Its Based Distros

Linuxslaves.com - Davinci Resolve is a non-linear professional video editing software which includes tools for editing, visual effects, motion graphics, color correction, audio post production, and extensively used in the moving-making industry, especially Hollywood.



This cross platform video editor software is available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. For your information, Resolve is officially supports CentOS only. But it doesn't mean we can't use it on other Linux distribution.


Thanks to Daniel Tufvesson for creating a script, called MakeResolveDeb, that generates a deb package, so we can use to install or remove DaVinci Resolve like any other deb package, instead of messing with system libraries.

Install Davinci Resolve 17 on Ubuntu

You can use this guide to install Davinci Resolve 17 or 16 on any Debian based distributions e.g Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, 20.04 LTS, or above as well as its derivatives systems like Linux Mint.



First, we need to install libssl1.0.0, ocl-icd-opencl-dev and fakeroot. Simply run the following command from the Terminal window :


sudo apt install libssl1.1 ocl-icd-opencl-dev fakeroot xorriso

Download the latest version Davinci Resolve and MakeResolveDeb from its official website and extract both and move the makeresolvedeb_x.y.z_multi.sh in the same folder where you extracted Davinci Resolve.


Suggested read :


Right click on empty space > Open in Terminal > and run these commands to create the deb package :


./makeresolvedeb*.sh DaVinci_Resolve_*_Linux.run

This will take a while, depends on your machine specs of course. Well, I assuming you've generated the deb successfully. Now you can simply run the command below to install the Davinci Resolve :


sudo dpkg -i davinci-resolve*_amd64.deb

Once installed, you can open this professional video editing software via launcher just like any normal applications.


A reminder for those who are getting error in Ubuntu that OpenCl or CUDA is not detected. Launch the app by right click and "Launch using Dedicated Graphics Card", the error should be resolved. Thanks to CUN_009.


The software also doesn't have any window decoration. Hold the Alt or Super key and drag the window while holding the left mouse button or using Alt + F7.
