Installation - Guidance For Linux Novices
Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2009 11:20 am
I have been singularly impressed with Qcad and but find the "vagueness" on installation in Linux puzzling.
I spent most of last night trawling round the web/forum/site looking for guidance. Perhaps I looked in the wrong place but I did give this forum's search facility a lot of work!
I have been able to successfully install in my home folder but it would appear the preference is for folder /opt. This is in turn requires superuser powers etc, which is an area I am very vague on except that there seems to be stern messages in Ubuntu about being very careful when invoking superuser powers.
Could I suggest a specific guide to this subject would be very useful for linux novices like me.
Perhaps I ought to finish by saying this is not a complaint, just a suggestion to make qcad even better
Cheers
