[foam-extend.org] Installing Foam Extend 4.0 on Linux Mint

andysuth · May 10, 2019, 11:56

Hi,

I've tried several times to install Foam Extend 4.0 on a fresh install of Linux Mint, but it fails with some odd behaviour.

Bashrc has two aliases in it "FE40" alias for the Foam Extend and "OF6" alias, but simple foam reports version 4.0 is installed before either alias is triggered, OF6 alias reports OF6 is installed, and FE40 alias reports an error.

Has anyone successfully installed foam extend 4.0 on Linux Mint?

Thanks

Quick questions:

Which specific Linux Mint version are you using?
Please provide the actual custom lines that you defined in your personal file "~/.bashrc", because it feels like there is something that you might be noticing... if you're not sure, run this command and provide its output in your next post:
Code:
```
cat ~/.bashrc
```
