Trouble installing Waveforms in Ubuntu

[Sam Bergami]

Hi

I am trying to install waveforms to use the analog discovery box. I am in  Linux using Ubuntu and I have downloaded both adept and Waveforms and tried installing both using the terminal and everything seems like it installed but when I search to open Waveforms I can't find it. I'm not sure what is wrong or why they are not installing properly. I'm using the 64 bit for both.

Please Help

Thanks

Hi @Sam Bergami

You can try installing the packages from terminal:
$ cd Downloads
$ sudo dpkg -i digilent.adept.runtime...
$ sudo dpkg -i digilent.waveforms...

Let us know what you get.

Hi @Sam Bergami

Try restarting the system.

You can open the application from terminal with waveforms command or /usr/bin/waveforms

Hi @attila I tried what you said and still nothing. I think that maybe the installation process did not work properly or I am installing incorrectly. Also after downloading from the internet, when I click on the download to try and install it disappears.

After I download the files, when I navigate into my downloads in the terminal, they appear red and I cannot access them. I'm almost positive I am using the correct Downloads (Linux deb 64-bit) because I am running Linux and using Ubuntu. I cannot figure out the problem and when I click on the download from the explorer and try to install using the install button, the window just disappears.

Hi @Sam Bergami,

Just to confirm you are installing the 64 bit deb Adept 2 runtime here first and then the 64 bit deb Waveforms 2015 from here second?

@Sam Bergami,

Hi @Sam Bergami,

I found a tutorial that should help you here. Also could you take screen shot of what you are seeing as well.

cheers,
