QCAD - 2D CAD does not start

Post by JJMendozaGR » Mon Feb 17, 2025 6:41 pm

Good evening to everyone
I installed QCAD from the QCAD home page (installation script qcad-3.32.1-trial-linux-x86_64.run) on a Xubuntu 24.04. I did not get any errors during installation. However, when I tried to run QCAD it threw an error: "Failed to execute child process "/root/opt/qcad-3.32.1-trial-linux-x86_64/qcad"(Permission denied). I have navigated through the file system and no "qcad-3.32.1-trial-linux-x86_64" directory was created during the install. Any assistance will be appreciated to solve this problem and get QCAD up and running.

Hi, and welcome to the QCAD forum.

Not a Linux user myself ... Perhaps reading this helps.
Installation instructions can be found here.

Removing the Trial Add-Ons
Only, this info is reported to be outdated, not updated, incomplete.

Regards,
CVH
