Ubuntu installation instructions<\/h2>\n

SolveSpace has been available for Ubuntu Linux since Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. So if you\u2019re looking to get the app set up on your Ubuntu PC, here\u2019s what to do. First, open up a terminal window on the Ubuntu desktop.<\/p>\n

To open up a terminal on the Ubuntu desktop, press Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu. When the terminal window is open, use the apt install<\/strong> command to install the \u201csolvespace\u201d package.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install solvespace\n<\/pre>\n
When you write in the command above, Ubuntu will ask you to enter your password into the terminal prompt. Then, using the keyboard, enter your password into the terminal box and press the Enter<\/strong> key.<\/p>\n
After pressing the Enter<\/strong> key and writing in your password, Ubuntu will collect all of the dependencies related to Solvespace. From there, you\u2019ll be asked to press the Y<\/strong> button on the keyboard to continue. Do so.<\/p>\n
When you press the Y<\/strong> button on the keyboard, the installation will begin.<\/p>\n
Debian installation instructions<\/h2>\n
If you use Debian, you\u2019ll be able to get SolveSpace working. Just ensure you have Debian 9, 10, 11, or Sid. If you\u2019re using an older release of Debian, you\u2019ll have first to upgrade your system.<\/p>\n
To get SolveSpace working on Debian, open up a terminal on the Debian desktop. You can open up the terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n
With the terminal window open, the installation can begin.\u00a0 Use the apt-get install<\/strong> command alongside the \u201csolvespace\u201d package.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install solvespace\n<\/pre>\n
When you enter the command above, Debian will ask you to enter your password into the text box. Using the keyboard, enter your password with the keyboard. After entering your password, Debian will collect all dependencies necessary to install SolveSpace.<\/p>\n
With all the packages collected, press the Y<\/strong> button to confirm you would like to install SolveSpace.<\/p>\n
Arch Linux installation instructions<\/h2>\n
SolveSpace is available for Arch Linux users. However, the app is not in the central software repositories. So instead, if you need to get the app working, you will have to set it up through the AUR.<\/p>\n
To start the installation, use the commands below to set up the Trizen AUR helper. Trizen makes compiling the SolveSpace application from the source code a painless and easy process.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S git base-devel\ngit clone https:\/\/aur.archlinux.org\/trizen.git\ncd trizen\/\nmakepkg -sri\n<\/pre>\n
With the Trizen AUR helper set up on your Arch Linux system up and running, use the trizen -S<\/strong> command to set up the latest release of SolveSpace from the AUR.<\/p>\n
\ntrizen -S solvespace\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora Linux installation instructions<\/h2>\n
SolveSpace is available for Fedora Linux users. However, not in the included Fedora software repositories. However, it is possible to get it working on Fedora as a Snap package.<\/p>\n
To start the installation on Fedora, follow the Snap package installation instructions to get the SolveSpace application up and running on your computer.<\/p>\n
OpenSUSE installation instructions<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
The SolveSpace application is available for OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Leap 15.3, and 15.2 in the \u201cScience\u201d software repository. However, this software repository is not enabled by default on any version of OpenSUSE.<\/p>\n
You must enable this software repository before you can install the software. To enable it, open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop. Open up a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard or searching for \u201cterminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n
Inside of the terminal app, use the zypper<\/strong> command to add the SolveSpace repo below.<\/p>\n
For OpenSUSE Leap 15.3, you can add the repo using this command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo zypper addrepo https:\/\/ftp.lysator.liu.se\/pub\/opensuse\/repositories\/science\/openSUSE_Leap_15.3\/ science-x86_64\n<\/pre>\n
If you are using OpenSUSE Leap 15.2, you can add the repo to your system using this command instead.<\/p>\n
\nzypper addrepo https:\/\/ftp.lysator.liu.se\/pub\/opensuse\/repositories\/science\/openSUSE_Leap_15.2\/ science-x86_64\n<\/pre>\n
Or, if you use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, you can add the software repo to your computer with the command below.<\/p>\n
\nzypper addrepo https:\/\/ftp.lysator.liu.se\/pub\/opensuse\/repositories\/science\/openSUSE_Tumbleweed\/ science-x86_64\n<\/pre>\n
When the repo is added to your system, use the zypper install<\/strong> command to set up SolveSpace.<\/p>\n
