@ofmrew said in Mint Linux open source install:

@Pablo-J-Rogina My Unix days were 40 years ago. I had no problem when I installed qt about three years ago.

Where did you put that file ?
Move to that folder first and then execute the commands. -
The file is in the download folder.
-
Then do what I suggested.
-
I tried:
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ cd bobwilliams\download
bash: cd: bobwilliamsdownload: No such file or directory
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ -
You really should take the time to learn how a unix command line works. Use forward slashes.

@SGaist I know that, too many years doing OS2 and Windows.
I cd to home, but cannot get to bobwilliams/download.
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux /home $ cd /bobwilliams
bash: cd: /bobwilliams: No such file or directory
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux /home $It is the Mint directory structure that is getting me.

cd /bobwilliams
/ is the top level folder.
If you want to enter a folder within the one you are in, either use ./ before the name of the folder or just the folder.

@SGaist I got to Setup - Qt. Logged into my account. At Welcome to open source setup I got Failure to fetch repositories. Now what?

@ofmrew I just looked in Settings. All are marked as Use. I do not see qt6.

There have been some issues lately with the cloud provider hosting the machines for the distribution so you may been hit by a fluk. Try again.

You might be getting a bad mirror. Try manually selecting a different mirror to download from: https://wiki.qt.io/Online_Installer_4.x#Selecting_a_mirror_for_opensource

- cmod only root! sudo chmod a+x ./qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-online.run
- For run:
2.1. cd <to file directory>
2.2. Add "dot" + "slash": qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-online.run -> ./qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-online.run

Why do you think sudo is needed?

@vladimir-litvinenko I got the failure to fetch when I tried the following:
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ cd home
bash: cd: home: No such file or directory
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ cd \home
bash: cd: home: No such file or directory
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ cd /home
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux /home $ cd ./bobwilliams
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ cd ./download
bash: cd: ./download: No such file or directory
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~ $ lsbobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~/Downloads $ chmod +x qt-unified-linux-x64-3.0.0-online.run
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~/Downloads $ ./qt-unified-linux-x64-3.0.0-online.run
QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it.
bobwilliams@bobwilliamsLinux ~/Downloads $Do you know what mirror is good?
In case I have not say it before, I really appreciate everyone's help.
