You want to move to the directory the application is in and use


sudo sh ./eagle-lin-5.6.0.run

Ok
Find the .run file in the File Browser (Nautilus)
Right-click the file and select properties
Under permissions tab make sure the Allow executing file as program is ticked and press close.
Double click the .run file to open it. A dialog box should appear.
Press run in terminal to run the installer
A terminal window willl open.
Follow any instructions on screen.

I did the same thing and it appeared to install just fine, however there is no Eagle in my program menu now. Where is it?

Hi, guys! TY all for your support! I'm beginning like right now (with linuxMint) and I had a little problem installing eagle, since I step on this forum. TY again...
Im translating this, so other users, also, could use it:


Hola, lo que sigue es una explicacion paso a paso para poder instalar el eagle en tu sistema ubuntu. hay dos formas, la segunda es la mejor:
recuerden que soy noob, si digo algo muy obvio o muy tonto, porfis, no me linchen...
PRIMERA:
0)busca un vasito de ron...
1) ve a la pagina http://www.cadsoft.de/download.htm y descarga el .run de windows
2) cuando se complete la descarga, busca el archivo, hazle click derecho, luego ve a permisions, y habilita "allow executing..."
3)dale doble click al archivo, y te va a salir un instalador, igual al de del sistema operativo de las ventanitas ;)
4)brinda con tu ron!!! acabas de instalar el eagle... si buscas en Home, va a haber una carpeta llamada eagle-5.6.0... si la abres, y le das click a la carpeta bin, y luego click al icono que dice "eagle" se va a abrir el programa, pero no va a aparecer en tu lista de aplicaciones...

SEGUNDA:
5)para eso yo use un programa que se llama synaptics (que ya venia instalado con el linuxMint) y en la barra de buscar escribi "eagle" eso me enseno unos packages de eagle
6)dale a los hitboxes (las cajitas cuadradas de seleccion)
7)y dale al boton de apply... y brinda otra vez!!! :popcorn:

te va a preguntar si lo quieres instalar... le das que si y voila! ya deberias de tener eagle 100% instalado en tu ordenador!
Espero que esto les haya servido de ayuda! :D
Cualquier cosa, me escriben al correo

Since this is a fresh thread i thought i'd use this one rather than make a new one:

I had no trouble installing EAGLE, and i also installed pcb-gcode, but when i try to make a new project it gives me a Permission Denied error when it tries to create a folder.

Is there a way to use eagle without having to run it as root?

[andyzammy]

bump this please.

[andyzammy]

are people seriously having to type in their passwords in order to use eagle bump?

[andyzammy]

bump, would love to hear other people's solutions to this. because it's a gui program am i better off using gksudo over sudo? doesn't seem to make any difference either or but i know gksudo's the norm for gui's.
