1.5.3 Linux Installation

XTrackCAD for LINUX is shipped as a self-extracting archive (executable).

  1. Installing from the self-extracting archive.
    After downloading open a command line then
    ./xtrkcad-setup-5.2.2GA.i386.sh --prefix=/usr/local --exclude-subdir
    This will install the executable in /usr/local/bin. A directory named xtrkcad will be created in /usr/local/share and all files will be unpacked into it.

If you install XTrackCAD into another directory, set the XTRKCADLIB environment variable to point to that directory.
