Dear Experts,

I tried installing TORTOISE 3.2.0 on ubuntu 19.10, according to linux installation instructions in the documentation.

I wonder the installation was successful! And when i type TORTOISE, I have command not found error.

PFA the log below for perusal and advice.

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Amit.

amitjc@AMiT:~/TORTOISE_V3.2.0_Linux$ bash ./install_bash.bash
amitjc@AMiT:~/TORTOISE_V3.2.0_Linux$ bash install_TORTOISE.bash
amitjc@AMiT:~/TORTOISE_V3.2.0_Linux$ TORTOISE
TORTOISE: command not found
amitjc@AMiT:~/TORTOISE_V3.2.0_Linux$

Hi,

Please type command DIFFPREP or even DR_BUDDI to check if installation worked okay. With the installation you have perfromed, typing these commands should give you a help file in the terminal. There are several other commands you can type and the list of them can be found in the respective module folder. There is, indeed, no command called TORTOISE. It is merely the name of the software package that comprises of DIFFPREP, DRBUDDI, DIFFCALC and DRTAMAS. Within each of these module folders there are commands that you can call from command line, just by typing it. 

Hope this helps,

Amritha

while going through the installation and opening of TortoiseGui.py (using the command : python3 TortoiseGui.py)i am getting the following error

Hello,

There should be a file called "tortoise_installer.sh"  in the TORTOISE_GUI folder.

You should run this file with : bash tortoise_installer.sh

THis should install the necessary libraries.
