Update ppa installation information #399
Conversation
On Linux Mint, default is to NOT install recommends packages (very strange option... anyway...). So I have added instruction for mint user to force installation of recommended packages...
|
Why is install recommends not needed for ubuntu? |
|
Because on Ubuntu (like on debian), it's already automaticaly install recommended packages (except if you specify manual to NOT install recommended or if you modify the default config). |

So much for having one document to maintain for both ubuntu and mint <.<

On Linux Mint there is a configuration file created on
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ named 00recommends that disable automatic installation
of recommended packages. I don't know why there is this parameter...
An user report that to me and I see that myself also...

Maybe it is better to have the "safer" commandline only? I mean it does not hurt to use the extra option on ubuntu. This makes the pages simpler. |
|
Hmm we just got this complaint here: #401 |
Won't propose "install-suggests" as a valid option for installing KiCad fully
|
I had remove --install-suggests, use by default install-recommends option and propose a not full installation by using -no-install-recommends. |
|
@jsreynaud Could you look into why the above failed so this can be rectified? By the way, kicad-doc-xx, -footprints, -libraries, -packages3d, etc. are also installed when "sudo apt install kicad" is run (which the majority of users would want), so the standalone KiCad install instructions should be updated too.

@d-digiacomo As I see the error message on the screen shoots this is a freespace error ;): |
|
@jsreynaud Thanks. Unfortunately checks didn't pass again. Perhaps the issue could be with a link being http:// instead of https://? Screenshots captured were of a live session running in VirtualBox. |
|
If you speak about the travis checks, As I see only external link to digikey doesn't work. But I don't understand the relation between those links errors and the screen shoot ? The screen show is about an "apt install" error. No relation with the links erros in travis ? |
|
@jsreynaud Correct, no relation. |
|
Please rebase. |
