Hello,

The information about unsupported packages (like Ubuntu one) will be remove from Download site tomorrow. The main reason for that is not to offer outdated packages for new users.

Backing to installation process on Linux it is relatively easy for power users. It means you need to know what the make is and how to download packages. So building upp from sources looks as follow:
- You download the package and unzip it on your hard drive
- The you download the require packages for your distribution via script "buildrequires.debian" or "buildrequires.fedora"
- The you start compiling TheIDE by using "make -j $(threadNumbers)"
- Your are waiting for final results
- You are installing the package using "make install" command (It should install upp for local user as far as I understand it know - so you can find TheIDE on your application list)

That's all - seems not difficult to me, because I made it over a dozen times Wink

Anyway, for as it is worth it to support less confusing installation method like providing FlatPacks (Currently I found it useful for my current distribution). For us it is definitely easier way to distribute our product and it is good place for free advertisement. For example, if you are available on FlatHub your application is display on their website. The same thing happens with snap packages.

I also plan in the near future to record the video with voice commentary - how to build and U++ from scratches in Linux environment.

I would like to thank you for all your suggestions - the constructive feedback is important to us. However, we have a lot ideas of improvement, but due to limited resources and time we can not deliver everything we wanted. Currently, I am working on full time as a programmer, so I do not have much time I can spend on U++. Of course, we accepting any volunteers that want to help. Maybe you are interested in helping us?

Sincerely and one more time thanks for feedback,
Klugier

U++ - one framework to rule them all.
