Sorry to be so cryptic
I propose to create a new release on
FreeCAD-GitHub-releases dedicated to the AppImages.
In the text box at the top there is the ability to add instructions. The text box uses
Markown It would be great if someone could contribute something I could copy/paste into that field.
Installation:
On KDE/dolphin, I download the
FreeCAD AppImage, right click on the AppImage file, choose Properties, switch to the Permissions tab, then check "Is executable" and OK. I get this popup (see below)(I don't know how consistent this is across different distro's?)
Then I click "No" twice, and I'm in FreeCAD.
After exiting FreeCAD can I un-intstall by just deleting the AppImage and have no remnants?
Usage:
FreeCAD cannot find the Appimage calculix ccx.exe. I can set the the path to a system installed version and everything works. Tested on
