Installation of 5.39 version

[satsriakal]

Hi to everybody,

I could install 5.28 version on a PC with Linux Mint, but I'm not able to update it.

I tried to install 5.39 version, but without any results.

Can someone help me in that please?

Best regards
Beppe

Hello, Beppe,

If Linux Mint does not update FET, you need to use the latest from the FET homepage. There are two variants:

1) Compile (use tar.bz2, unpack and read the README file). Basically install Qt, type "qmake" and "make -j 2" (or 4, or 8, or 12, or 16, how many threads your processor has), and "sudo make install". I can help you more, let me know.

2) Use my version of precompiled FET for GNU/Linux, which hopefully will work: https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/download/gnu-linux-executables/ (get FET-official, not mapr or Algeria or Morocco) , unpack and it has directly the executable in that directory, run "./fet".

Please let me know.
