It should be possible to run a current (i.e. Python 3, Qt 5) build of FreeCAD on arm64 processors but I think older armel/armhf has a bug with Quarter, one of our bundled dependencies.

If you have some patience I'd be glad to help you get things running but I'm afraid you'd be one of our early guinea pigs so it might take some back and forth It is definitely a goal of mine to add arm64 support for our PPAs.

I would be happy to be a guinea pig. I'm doing most of the heavy lifting for my project on my main laptop, so I can be as patient as it takes. Mostly going to work on it Monday-Friday.

So when I add the PPA, using sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable, I get the following error:


gpg: keybox '/tmp/tmpm6s_qw60/pubring.gpg' created
gpg: /tmp/tmpm6s_qw60/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: key 005EAE8119BB5BCA: public key "Launchpad PPA for FreeCAD maintainers" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found

I have tried a lot of gpg troubleshooting (editing freecad-maintainers-ubuntu-freecad-stable-eoan.list for different ubuntu releases, updating apt and gpg, installing gnupg and spftware-properties-common) but still cant seem o get it to be happy. Any thoughts?

Do you have the ubuntu-keyring package? You can check with dpkg -l | grep ubuntu-keyring.

[thejollinator]

No, it does not seems to be there.

[kkremitzki]

Go ahead and install that and you should be able to run sudo add-apt-repository.

[thejollinator]

Installed, but still having issues. Here is my terminal output:

 This PPA repository hosts stable releases of FreeCAD for all supported versions of Ubuntu in 32 and 64-Bit architecture. These packages are more up to date than those found on the Ubuntu repositories.

Note: the freecad-doc package brings offline FreeCAD help support, and needs to be installed separately..  

Note: the ccx package brings CalculiX support to the FEM workbench, and needs to be installed separately.

It is pretty self-explanatory, you are trying to fetch a non-existent "eoan" repository. Dingo Disco was just released last week, Eoan is 6 months away from release.

You're mixing cosmic links in there as well...

Thanks for the advice. New to the boards.

I am also a relatively new Linux/Command Line user. Do I need to wait for the Eoan release, or can I somehow modify the command to fetch the Dingo repository and run that version? I believe that was what I was attempting earlier and ended up getting those cosmic links, so clearly I am running into some novice issues.

Also, my understanding is that Linux(Beta) on ChromeOS is basically a Debian-running virtual machine. /etc/os-release says my OS is Debian Stretch. I know Ubuntu is a build off of Debian, but does that mean the version of FreeCAD made for running in Ubuntu will run on Debian?
