Hi
Which is the best version of Qcad best to dowload ? 32 bit. The tar file or the other one. With the other one it starts to download the script but does not ever finish. I have to abort firefox to get out of it.
For an old timer, what is the best and 'easiest' way tou install ? Only a single click or two!
Thankyou

Hello Charles, welcome.
The installer would be the easiest option to use, download and save the file to your desktop, right click and set the permissions to readable and executable, then run in terminal.

For the best support please state your operating system, QCAD version and add any supporting DXF/DWG files, screenshots etc...

To download the installer, you might have to right-click on the download button and choose 'Save as' or similar. You do not want your browser to display the installer - you want to download the file to disk.sswcharlie wrote:With the other one it starts to download the script but does not ever finish.

Hi Clive and Andrew
Thanks for your info. Appreciated.
wi
From that I have got QCAD up and running great. Had a little hiccup with the name of the file (I copied it from the wrong place and it was slightly different)
My first time using the Terminal, was not that scary afterall!
Love QCAD and look forward to using. Will post a couple of questions on the forum re using different tools etc.
Thanks and regards

Re: Qcad and Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon
I clicked there in the shop, "https://www.ribbonsoft.com/shop/download/[…]/qcad-3.6.0-pro-linux-x86_64.run" and indeed was presented with text. You should configure the web-server, in apache eg:andrew wrote:To download the installer, you might have to right-click on the download button and choose 'Save as' or similar.

Code: Select all
AddType application/octet-stream .run

Yes, thanks. I am aware of this issue. However, I have to reply on our web server provider to fix the problem eventually.
