I have been using a purchased copy of qcad for quite a number of years on Linux. Being a Linux user, not techie, I was so impressed with how good the software was I purchased a copy, not something I was used to doing being a Linux fan.
However things move on and I now have a Chomebook but can find no documentation anywhere on installing qcad, some simple instruction would be very appreciated.
I have Linux activated and have installed some flatpaks, but a Qcad install has left be baffled, not being a Linux techie even after 15 years, more a user me. I will be very pleased with this purchase once I have qcad running.
With Thanks

Re: Install on a chrome book
I'm afraid that this will likely not work, at least not with QCAD Professional. There might be a QCAD Community Edition port available somewhere for Chromebooks.
Note that some Chromebooks use ARM processors. We haven't ported QCAD to that platform and the OpenDesign libraries (used for DXF/DWG support) don't exist for Linux on ARM processors at this point.
You could also try and install / compile Qt and the QCAD CE on your Chromebook but given your statement that you are not a "techie" that might not be a realistic option to pursue...

Re: Install on a chrome book
Thanks for the reply Andrew. Are you saying that there is a chance of an install from a tar package?

Re: Install on a chrome book
There's probably a small chance if it's an Intel-based Chromebook.
For ARM processors, you'd have to install Qt and compile the QCAD sources if that is at all an option for you.
