For Ubuntu there is a PPA with the latest releases that could be setup in addition to the main repository: https://launchpad.net/~openscad/+archive/ubuntu/releases ciao, Torsten.

A slight correction Torsten. The OpenSCAD version 2021.04.13.ai7733 (git d1c445d4c) will not run on an uptodate stretch on a 4 core i5, some library is missing. Runs fine on an uptodate buster.

My apologies, Torsten I was trying to report two separate problems, one with the Appimage, and the other with the 2021.01 64 bit Linux version, but I found the problem with the Appimage. I realized my mistake as soon as I posted it, and edited it to read: > I just tried to install OpenSCAD 2021.01 from > https://openscad.org/downloads.html > using sudo apt-get install openscad, but when I run it, I get version > 2019.05 I realize now that I should have deleted it and posted again. -- Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/
