I am wondering is their a distribution via yum or other method of running a later version of Openscad on my CentOS6.9 machine? I am by no means a Linux Guru, but I can work my way through basic command line stuff. I'd like some simple instructions to get a recent version running....I followed some stuff I could online a while back but it was rather old. I currently have a 2014 version or Openscad but would like to update so my linux machine will be more compatible with the my much later Macintosh systems using newer releases.

A quick Google search for "openscad EL6" turns up this: http://blog.chrysocome.net/2014/01/openscad-for-centos-6.html However I would try run the latest nightly AppImage first: http://www.openscad.org/downloads.html#snapshots AppImage is just one file, you make it executable and run it. That might work or it might not, EL6 may have a glibc which is too old to use that AppImage. If you get some error in the terminal like "GLIBC_2_XX" then you can't run that AppImage. If your aim is to run recent desktop software, it's probably time you got rid of old EL6 and used something more modern instead. EL7 can run the OpenSCAD nightly AppImage, as can Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

grabbing it from github and running qmake / make isn't a terrible trial there are some scripts to grab dependencies but they didn't work with Void Linux, but you can always incrementally install missing stuff till the qmake / make process works... git clone https://github.com/openscad/openscad.git https://github.com/openscad/openscad#compilation obviously your mileage may vary but given a concrete issue with a github build I'm sure if not me then others here can get you going...
