How Do I Install Downloaded Software?

Hi, on the GitHub page, following are the instructions given for Linux.

Linux

  1. Visit release page
  2. Download Configurator for Linux platform (linux32 and linux64 are present)
  3. Extract tar.gz archive
  4. Make the inav-configurator file executable (chmod +x inav-configurator)
  5. Run INAV Configurator app from unpacked folder

Once you extract the archive, go to the unzipped folder, right click on the 'inav-configurator' file and select 'Properties'. Go to 'Permissions' tab. There you tick the 'Allow executing file as program' checkbox. I tried to launch it by double clicking it but it gives no application to launch type shared library...something like that. Instead if I execute from terminal it works. For this you go to (unzipped) INAV folder, right-click anywhere and choose 'Open in Terminal'. Type ./inav-configurator and hit Enter. Don't forget the leading period (before /). See attached snapshots. Hope it helps.

Also, there is a note for linux users. You may consider it.

Linux users

  1. Dont forget to add your user into dialout group sudo usermod -aG dialout YOUR_USERNAME for serial access
  2. If you have 3D model animation problems, enable "Override software rendering list" in Chrome flags chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blacklist
