Sw 3D in Linux

[pmralbuquerque]

Hi,
I'm trying to install v4.4 in Linux Lite. After extracting the files, I find a file named 'SweetHome3d' with a command line symbol. If I read well the instructions on the site page, executing this file should install SW3D. But nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong, please?
I must say that I am an absolutely new user of Linux and know very very very little about this OS. [:(] The downloaded version is Linux 64 bits.
Thank you.

You don't have to install SH3D.

1 - Unzip the file you downloaded.
2 - Right-click the SH-script (881 bytes)
3 - Choose Properties
4 - Under Permissions check the box before Allow execution as program
5 - Under Open with verify that the program uses Oracle Java 7 Runtime
6 - If necessary, uninstall all Java versions and install Oracle Java 7.

You don't need to install Oracle Java with the installer version proposed on sweethome3d.com and SourceForge.net. Just double-click on the SweetHome3D file and it will run the program itself since there's no real installer program.
When you double-click on SweetHome3D, the system might prompt you to Run the program in a terminal or not. If it fails, run it in a terminal, and report here the issue that may appear in the terminal.

Hi,
thank you for your answers Hansmex and Emmanuel, but I still haven't got it [:(] .
Let me try to explain better:

• first I download the file here ;

• second I extract the files, obtaining this folder;

• third I double click (or select run from the context menu) this file.

Then ... nothing happens [:-/] .
Maybe there is something else I should do? Thank you again.
Regards.

Hi,
I have the same problem, but with the x86 version in Ubuntu 14.04.
"

That sounds correct.
Try to run it in a Terminal window to see if some errors appear:
- Open a Terminal
- Drag and drop the SweetHome3D icon in the Terminal to get its path easily
- Type <Enter> to run it
- Report here what the Terminal says.

Maybe the answer to a similar problem will help you...

Emmanuel, thank you a lot!
"sudo apt-get install libxtst6:i386" - it helped.

Howdy,

Important info:

OS: Linux Trusty Tahr 14.04
Arch: 32bit

So I installed SW3D, or tried to. I extracted the files and when I click the app to run all the program does is open Gedit. I allowed the executing file as program, but it still won't work. I did move the file to a different location, Home file. Yet, the app still only opens in Gedit.

I have Java 6 and 7, I installed IcedTea. My OS has the latest version on libXtst.

I dragged and dropped the app into Terminal and it opens with the Terminal stating: Java 3D: implicit antialiasing enabled

However, I would like to run the app without having to route through Terminal. What am I doing wrong? [:((]

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you
