Where is 0.19 executable for Linux 64 ?

Post by manos »

Hello. I am trying to find out an executable binary of 0.19 version, for Ubuntu. I just want download it - double click and run. Last year I installed one 0.19 version in my other computer very easily. But now there is a labyrinth at the installation pages with no avail.

Please help.

what do you mean labyrinth? It's pretty straightforward at the download page to get an appimage for 0.20, the current stable version (which I recommend rather than 0.19). If you really want them older releases can be found at the github releases page: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases just scroll down to the version you want, the latest in 0.19 series with an appimage available is 0.19.3: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/tag/0.19.3

From what I know download page is not complicated.

A part that Linux 64 is not telling nothing as Linux has a different eay to specify Architectures of the CPU used.

Mist near is Linux x86_64 as there are different architecture fir 64bitb cpus even Arm64 to cite one.

The Download is in FC main page and there is a link somewhere to reach GitHub repos.

GitHub repo are two, one for stable and for weekly builds.

Once saved GH links are pretty straightforward to use, a part from different versions supplied for different OS.

Probably you have not tried to download -and use- version 0.19 recently.
I mean download a file -e.g. a .deb file- double click it and start using Freecad program.

I've installed an AppImage last week to substitute my conda install for 0.20 with the 0.21 dev when it was available.

Plus I've installed a 0.19.3 on a second computer.

as deb files are usually outdated and PPA for Ubuntu is somewhat discouraged by developers, recently some advice was added on download page an the "usual advice" done here in the Forum is to use an AppImage.

EDIT:

I have checked with my browser:

For each supported version in:

https://www.freecadweb.org/downloads.php

There is a direct link to download a version for each OS and a clear link to the wiki page, as example for Linux:

https://wiki.freecad.org/Installing_on_Linux

In effect there are Link broken and the index is outdated.

Let's signal it.

I made this post:

https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 16#p612416

Hope it helps

But it not seem a labirinth, it only a matter of multiple choices, and for Linux this is the "usual way", at least for users that have frequented Linux for some time, and appreciate the "many different ways" of doing things.

END EDIT:

Other cases are slightly more complicated and error prone.

we simply do not provide standalone deb packages, this has been the case for several versions, I believe 0.19 included, you may try the ppa but it is currently unmaintained so it is not the best idea. There are some issues with some appimage versions in some distros so I understand if this frustrates you, it should be possible to run with something like this:

Code: Select all

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 ./FreeCAD_0.19.3-Linux-Conda_glibc2.12-x86_64.appimage
libstdc++.so might be somewhere else depending on your distro, I think that is the path for debian based systems.

Well done Carlos. So would you be so kind and give me a link where I can find an AppImage of FreeCAD version 0.19 for Ubuntu?

AppImages are not different for Ubuntu.

If you go to the stable release GitHub page (there is a link around here from @adrianinsaval ) and scroll down you will find it there is 0.19.4 that was not released for Linux and Mac as clearly told in the page but 0.19.3 is present.

Here the direct link.

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/rele ... 4.AppImage

Hope it helps.

After 8 post we finally find the direct link.
OK I agree, it is not a labyrinth, it is a highway.
Thanks all
