Linux (see QCAD 3 Page for details)
(Installer)
Version: 3.0.0 RC2
I have downloaded the above version . After down load is completed I double clicked the bin file. Ubuntu 11.1 is not initializing the installation process.
I think it has to be installed through the terminal window. Kindly let me have the commands to install the same.

Linux browsers usually save any downloaded file as regular file (not executable). Please make the downloaded installer executable, then launch it.
The procedure to make a file executable depends on your Linux distribution, Window Manager and versions thereof but usually involve a right-click on the file, followed by choosing preferences or similar.

I have recently installed on Ubuntu, for me this worked.vkadal wrote:it has to be installed from the terminal by typing
change the directory where qcad has been downloaded. Then type
sudo apt-get install qcad
For Ubuntu 11.10
1.Download bin file from the QCAD store (download area) -save for example to desktop.
2."Right-click" on file and set the permissions to allow executing the file as a program.
3.From the Terminal -type -Desktop/qcad-3.0.0-rc2-prof-linux.bin.
after running this.
4.You will need to install the 32bit libs - so again in the terminal, type
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Please note that this will install the (old) QCAD 2.0 Community Edition and not QCAD Professional you have purchased and downloaded from our store.vkadal wrote:it has to be installed from the terminal by typing

Yes -thanks Andrew for pointing that out, I didn`t make it clear that the bin file needs to be downloaded from the QCAD store.
