Can this be installed in Linux?

No. The Windows version of MakeMKV stores the settings (and key) in the registry. The key updater has been specifically written for this use case. There's no equivalent to the Windows Registry on Linux. To make this work, you would need to find the file where MakeMKV stores the key and then change the registry key replacement mechanism in the tool for a file based one. In other words, you need to change half of the application to make it work on Linux, at which point you may also just write your own.

If you find where the key is kept on your disk, you can fairly trivial write your own update utility by simply using the API from https://cable.ayra.ch/makemkv/
