1.5.2 Linux Installation

  1. Installing from an .rpm file
    After downloading the .rpm file, do
    	rpm -ihv xtrkcad-\e{VVV}.i386.rpm
    
    Replace -ihv with -Uhv to upgrade an existing XTrkCad installation.

  2. Installing from a .tar.gz file
    Open a command line then
    	cd /usr/local/lib
    	tar xvfz xtrkcad-linux-elf.VVV.tar.gz
    
    This will create a directory named xtrkcad and untar all files into it.
    	cd /usr/local/bin
    	ln -s /usr/local/lib/xtrkcad/xtrkcad xtrkcad
    
    If you install XTrkCad into another directory, set the XTRKCADLIB environment variable to point to that directory.
