ODA Drawings Explorer Downloads

 

PlatformInformationDownload
Linux

OpenSUSE11.2/Ubuntu 20.10 x64 or later. GLIBC version 2.28 or higher is required. Now Qt runtimes are integrated into the packages!

RPM packages: Use system software to install, for example sudo yum localinstall --skip-broken ODADrawingsExplorer_QT6_lnxX64_8.3dll.rpm.   
Note that it is required to skip false broken dependecies (--nodeps option for rpm)   
When installing several products of the same version, it may require using console to force resolving conflicts (sudo rpm -i --replacefiles ODADrawingsExplorer_QT6_lnxX64_8.3dll.rpm).

DEB packages: Use system software to install, for example sudo gdebi ODADrawingsExplorer_QT6_lnxX64_8.3dll.deb, from the terminal command line. You may need superuser privileges to install.

Modern Linux such as Ubuntu 22/Fedora37 also require to install/symlynk libxcb-util.so.0 library (they usually contain libxcb-util.so.1 now). It can be fixed quickly as following:

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu (Ubuntu)   
or   
cd /usr/lib64 (Fedora)   
then   
sudo ln -s libxcb-util.so.1 libxcb-util.so.0

AppImage packages: Runs as portable version of software from disk image. Does not require installation at all! However, fuse component must be installed (appears that Fedora already has it, On Ubuntu use sudo apt install fuse). Using AppImage does not require any additional Linux components as well. The image contains everything.
