Issues Running dailies

Post by RickW »

OS: Linux Mint 18 Sarah
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.16.6703 (Git)
Build type: None
Branch: releases/FreeCAD-0-16
Hash: 2ce5c8d2e3020d05005ed71f710e09e9aa561f40
Python version: 2.7.11+
Qt version: 4.8.7
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 6.8.0.oce-0.17

My setup runs Linux mint on a T400, works great.
I tried switching to the daily builds but cant seem to get it to run.
I added the new path, and did everything it says under loading, but I am still seeing 16.
Any thoughts?
How does one make contact to help out in some way?
Any good python tutorial recommendations? Books? Videos?
I am learning FreeCAD after years of Solidworks
Thank you all
Rick

Hi Rick,

Welcome here.

You need to install the freecad-daily package. We renamed it so that the current 0.16 release and the daily build could be both installed at the same time.

See "Get involved" at the bottom of this page: http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.ph ... =Main_Page

As for your other questions, same link.

There's also the pinned topic in the Help forum about 0.17 PartDesignNext best practices.

This is what I ran.
Is there more to do?
Is there a different start command?

I found this set of commands, and was able to complete the loading.
The other info I had found did not include the last line. Duh! operator error.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install freecad-daily freecad-daily-doc

Thanks all !
Rick
