Probably a dumb question but is there any way to get the software running on a 32 bit machine? I've tried many things to force it to install and tried the appimage but it just creates a weird text file named: �F@@��@8@ (invalid encoding) Any suggestions please? Many thanks, Andy
Have you tried the Deb image? (at software.openbuilds.com or also from OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL) Otherwise you'll have to compile it yourself git clone OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL cd OpenBuilds-CONTROL npm install ./node_modules/bin/electron-builder --linux deb If you aren't using a debian based distruo, refer to Any Linux Target - electron-builder for other formats
Thanks for the quick reply Peter, Yes it's a debian based distro; Mint Package manager was the first thing I tried since I've not used anything other than Windows for a few years and I'm a bit rusty. I'd like to run it all in linux just because it feels more appropriate to the whole openbuilds ethos My machine was running Mach3 when I acquired it and once I realised it was actually useful I bought a blackbox and I absolutely love it. I just want to dump Windows 7 now I'm not tied to a parallel port... yippeeee
I use the .deb image on Xubuntu without problems except the icon is enormous sometimes after an upgrade. hmmm, cannot say now if it is 32 or 64 bit! will check tomorrow
