MAYA_APP_DIR

[Anonymous]

I have strange issue with how the MAYA_APP_DIR is setup in linux . I have both centos 7.2 and ubuntu 16.04 and I installed maya 2018 Student Version and they are running without any flaws .I used the Maya installer in centos .For ubuntu I convered package to .deb and installed . Only issue is in Centos somehow the MAYA_APP_DIR is  getting set differently than in Ubuntu  not sure why ?.can anybody point out what is different .,or what I may be missing here 

In Mel Script window if I run the following:

Ubuntu :

getenv MAYA_APP_DIR;
// Result: /home/arnabiitr/maya //

Centos:

getenv MAYA_APP_DIR;

// Result: /root/maya //

Welcome. 

I understand you are a student unfortunately, Cento Linux operating systems require a multi-user Network License. The student software program does not offer this license type to students. Please take a look at the system requirements, they are also copied below.

AS mentioned , I don’t have any issues with license , everything is working fine , but as mentioned in the post , MAYA_APP_DIR is getting set to /root/maya in centos 7.2 while in other linux variants like Ubuntu it gets set properly to /home//maya .
