How to override installation directory

Post by wayne67 » Mon Dec 28, 2015 5:26 pm

Hello,
X86_64, Rel. 12.3.4, Linuxmint 17.
Currently the install script installs
qcad in the directory ~/opt. How
to install in a different directory?

./qcad-3.12.4-linux-x86_64.run --target /path/to/installation/directory

Where /path/to/installation/directory is the path where you want to install QCAD (e.g. /home/user/apps/qcad).

To show all options of the installer, try also:

./qcad-3.12.4-linux-x86_64.run --help

Alternatively, you might want to simply use the .tar.gz package instead and extract it wherever you prefer.
