install FC 0.19 ou Ubuntu 20.04 Linux

Post by Oli772 »

Hello,

FC 0.18 comes with the installation of Ubuntu 20.04 on Linux.

Ubuntu 22.04 has some bugs I don't like so I prefer to keep on 20.04 for the moment.

However I would like to update FC to 0.19.

How can I do this ?

Thanks for your help

If you want "the latest", and not just 0.19, you could use the flatpak or the snap: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.freecadweb.FreeCAD and https://snapcraft.io/freecad
Try FreeCAD from the Snap Store: Stable releases (in latest/stable) & daily builds (in latest/edge). Supports installing additional python packages via pip!

if you need 0.19 specifically you can find the appimages at https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases, it's possible to install older versions of the software through flatpak but it's not very easy figuring out what commit to choose. I think snap doesn't support downgrading? Not sure. You're most likely better off just using 0.20.1 though so just pick your poison ;)
