How can I install latest version of gmsh, which is gmsh 3.0.7 on ubuntu 16.04LTS please?
Using sudo apt install gmsh it only installs gmsh 2.10.1.
I also did update and upgrade my system but still only version 2.10.1.
Any suggestion please?
Cheers
First, I prefix this by saying I'm nothing like an expert, but this worked for me:
Uninstall the repository version:
sudo apt-get remove gmsh
Download a zipped copy of the latest stable release for linux from the gmsh website:
http://gmsh.info/#Download
Unzip gmsh:
tar -xvzf gmsh-3.0.6-Linux64.tgz (or whatever version you've downloaded)
This makes a folder gmsh-3.0.6-Linux64 containing gmsh which is portable. Put it somewhere you can find it. I put it in my home directory.
Navigate to the bin folder:
cd ~/gmsh-3.0.6-Linux64/bin
From the bin folder you can start gmsh by typing:
./gmsh
I made it generally available at the command line by editing my .bashrc, adding this line:
export PATH="$PATH:/home/bob/gmsh-3.0.6-Linux64/bin"
You will need to make the path appropriate for your location.
Hope this works.
if it can help someone here, I recently compiled GMSH from source without difficulty, simply with the typical combination of cmake and make; their GitLab repository explains these few steps to follow
https://gitlab.onelab.info/gmsh/gmsh
Although this may vary, pay attention to few libraries which weren't present on my fresh Ubuntu installation (libpng, libjpeg, and FLTK libraries), cmake properly highlighted these missing libraries. FLTK is needed for the UI.
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS has gmsh version 4.4.1 in the official repositories. So installation is again simply this:
sudo apt install gmsh

I'm try Downgrade Subversion 1.8 working copy to 1.7 but not usefull. Please help
You can install svn version 1.7 via MacPorts.
Follow the instructions here.
Basically you'll have these steps:
Use the App Store to install Xcode.
Note — you may need to update Xcode after installing it.
Open a terminal and sudo xcode-select --install to install the the developer command line tools.
Install MacPorts for your version of OSX.
Note — you may need to source ~/.bash_profile after installation for the port command to be found.
Reinstall ports following the migration instructions.
The default install of Macports install links into /opt/local/bin and /opt/local/sbin, so add that to your path (then source ~/.bash_profile again).
Use 'which svn' and/or 'svn --version' in bash to determine which copy of subversion you are using.
I have gcc4.6 installed. I need 4.2 to be installed without disturbing current version.
OS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Either install using --prefix configure switch to choose another path to install to, or --program-suffix switch, e.g. --program--suffix=-4.2. The docs have more information.
Please note that by default, the prefix will be /usr/local/, but the Ubuntu package will install to just /usr/, so things should be fine. However, if your $PATH lists /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin, you might still run into problems.
I have downloaded latest SmartGit installation and each time I want to use it I need to run script smartgit.sh from SmartGit bin directory, this process requires the same repository setup every time.
What it correct way of installing SmartGit on Ubuntu? Thus I can have normal icon and run the program from state of previous usage, without configuring repositories every time.
Thanks.
You can add a PPA that provides a relatively current version of SmartGit(as well as SmartGitHg, the predecessor of SmartGit).
To add the PPA run:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eugenesan/ppa
sudo apt-get update
To install smartgit (after adding the PPA) run:
sudo apt-get install smartgit
To install smartgithg (after adding the PPA) run:
sudo apt-get install smartgithg
This should add a menu option for you
For more information, see Eugene San PPA.
This repository contains collection of customized, updated, ported and backported packages for two last LTS releases and latest pre-LTS release
What it correct way of installing SmartGit on Ubuntu? Thus I can have
normal icon
In smartgit/bin folder, there's a shell script waiting for you: add-menuitem.sh. It does just that.
Now on the Smartgit webpage (I don't know since when) there is the possibility to download directly the .deb package. Once installed, it will upgrade automagically itself when a new version is released.
Seems a bit too late, but there is a PPA repository with SmartGit, enjoy! =)
I need to install ImageMagick 6.5.8 (or earlier might do), but even when I checkout an earlier commit, it installs the latest version (6.6.9-4). I did this:
$ git checkout -b im-6.5.6 ff414bb
(then confirmed that the working tree shows the correct version of imagemagick.rb, with #url = a .tar of version 6.5.6-5)
$ brew install imagemagick
(and it says Checking out tag 6.6.9-4 and then proceeds to install that version)
Any help would be appreciated. Thx.
Hope you managed to find a solution, if not.
Heres one that worked for me on another related issue.
brew install https://github.com/adamv/homebrew-alt/raw/master/versions/imagemagick-ruby186.rb
This will install ImageMagic 6.5.9-8
I have Ubuntu 9.04 and need to install gcc 4.4.3. Does anyone know how would I do that?
I can't do it with any other versions except maybe gcc 4.4.x.
Currently ubuntu 9.04 has only 4.3.3 available but that is not sufficient for me.
Thank you in advance!
try sudo apt-get install gcc=4.4.3
I'm not sure if that's the exact version, but that's how you specify which version you want.
You can build gcc 4.4.3 from source - http://gcc.gnu.org/install/
Or you can install from jaunty repository - http://packages.ubuntu.com/ru/jaunty/gcc
Add in your /etc/apt/sources.list - deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty main
Then
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc
GCC is not that hard to compile, even if you do the entire bootstrap compile.
You can try:
Updating Ubuntu: come on, it's free, don't keep the old stuff lingering around...
installing the .deb packages from a later Ubuntu release. I would advise against using the full repository, but it might be you need to go dependency hunting (for the right version of glibc, libstdc++ etc.)
