Re: How do I get the KiCad FlatPak to install in Linux?

 

Which Linux distribution are you using? I have never had any problems installing Kicad on any Linux machine. I even have it on a Raspberry Pi 400. You don't have to use a flatpack.

As for why Kicad is not offered directly as a flatpack, that is a question you should address directly to Kicad's developers. This group is for users of Kicad and unfortunately we have no direct influence over Kicad itself although I am told they do keep an eye on this list.

Cheers

Ian

It says this:
One can distribute flatpaks along with their dependencies on USB drives (or network shares, etc.) which is especially helpful in situations where Internet access is limited or non-existent.
I'm not sure that's as easy as it sounds ... but if it is, then why not just offer the KiCad flatpaks directly rather than forcing people to use flathub?

For now I've given up. Instead, I've fired up my old Windows computer (something I hate to do) and the Windows version of KiCad is working fine.

Thanks again for your time.
