I encountered some problems with installing FreeCAD on Debian without GUI. I need 0.19 version because I want to view my models as WebGL in .html. v0.18 seems to be far behind in functionality and performance in this aspect and models created using v0.18 are not compatible with v0.19.
I tried to install FreeCAD with:
Code: Select all
apt-get install freecad
I also tried to install 0.19 from GitHub:
FreeCAD_0.19-24291-Linux-Conda_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage
But it couldn't install properly throwing following errors:
Code: Select all
Log: Init: Initializing freecad.appimage
Log: Init: No init module found in freecad.appimage, skipping
...
Log: Init: App::FreeCADInit.py done
Log: Init: Creating Gui::Application and QApplication
Log: could not connect to display
Log: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
Log: This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, webgl, xcb.
