[solved] ubuntu install - not upgrading

Post by Giuliano69 » Thu Mar 11, 2021 2:52 pm

Ubuntu 20.04.02 - 64 bit

Download qcad-3.26.1-pro-linux-x86_64.run; made it executable, run.
Under ~/opt/ , there is NO new qcad directory (3.26.1)
Tryed to reboot ... same result.

Which is the correct install procedure for Qcad Update under ubuntu ?

What is the output on the terminal when running qcad-3.26.1-pro-linux-x86_64.run? Are there any errors? Could it be that the download was not yet complete or was interrupted?

Perhaps, you can check the MD5 checksum for this file:
c7692c0cbf758bea0e8f5010f1bd0c95

Otherwise, the file size should be: 163755886 Bytes
