  Caution

  - Open a terminal and log in as root using sudo -s.
  - Create a symbolic link by typing:
```
ln -s /opt/caldera/lib/RIJP/Linux/RIJPLibrary/IJRenderingPath /usr/lib/IJRenderingPath
```
  - Next, edit the file using:
```
pluma /opt/caldera/lib/RIJP/Linux/RIJPLibrary/IJRenderingPath

  - Add the following path inside the file:

```
  - Save the file and close Pluma.
- For macOS:
  - Open a terminal and enter the following command:
```
ln -s /opt/caldera/lib/RIJP/Darwin/RIJPLibrary/IJRenderingPath /usr/lib/IJRenderingPath
```
  - To edit the file, type:

```
  - Press the “i” key to enter insert mode, and add the following path inside the file:
