Re: Upgrade from 6.2 to 6.6
You do not need to install the version you have downloaded from the website.
I'm working with Ubuntu and Mint should be very similar to Ubuntu.

So, copy the downloaded folder to where you want it (mine is in /usr/share/SweetHome3D-6.6).

Then go to /home/"your_username"/.local/share/applications and create a file called "SweetHome3D.desktop".

And this file should contain the following lines:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Sweet Home 3D
GenericName=Interior 2D design application with 3D preview
GenericName[de]=Innenraumplaner
Comment=Interior design Java application for quickly choosing and placing furniture on a house 2D plan drawn by the end-user with a 3D preview
Comment[de]=Innenraumplaner zum Auswählen und Platzieren von Möbeln auf einem 2D-Hausplan mit 3D-Vorschau
Path=/usr/share/SweetHome3D-6.6
Exec="/usr/share/SweetHome3D-6.6/SweetHome3D" %U
Icon=/usr/share/SweetHome3D-6.6/SweetHome3DIcon.png
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=com-eteks-sweethome3d-SweetHome3D
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=SweetHome3D;2DGraphics;3DGraphics;Graphics;
Keywords=interior;design;2D;3D;home;house;furniture;java;
MimeType=application/sweethome3d;
Name[de_CH]=SweetHome3D


Edit: of course you can edit the german parts in these lines to your preferred language.
