Salome Meca V2020.0.1 installation .\salome not working

Hi! When installing the latest version on Salome Meca, I was able to uncompress the .tgz file and install the software in the directory. The shortcut in my desktop was created and I was able to enter inside the directory through the terminal via:

cd $HOME/salome_meca/appli_V2020.0.1_universal_universal

When I try to compute ./salome in order to launch it, seems like doesn't work
Could anyone help me fix that problem? Thank you very much!

PD: I'm just starting to learn Linux functioning

Re: Salome Meca V2020.0.1 installation .\salome not working

Hello,
I don't know is this post actual but : do You have file in this folder called "salome_meca_V2020.0.1_universal_universal.desktop" ?
If Yes, go to properties and check on Privileges tick which is something like "allow to run as program", then start this file.

Re: Salome Meca V2020.0.1 installation .\salome not working

Hello, I have an issue that looks quite alike. And I am also a beginner in Linux...

As I am a windows user, I began by installing Ubuntu 20.04 on a virtual machine (VM VirtualBox), and installed all the packages mentioned as prerequisites, without a problem.

Then I downloaded salome_meca2019.0.3 (download of 2020 version often failed), extracted the archive and run installation.
Several error messages appeared (I first I did not notice as the end of the install seemed to end properly), but no application were created. After I performed the operation several times,

1. I notice that in the log, the python application was not found. In python support forums, it seemed that it was an issue regarding pointing python instead of python, which should be solved by the command sudo apt-get install python-is-python3. After a reinstall, there was still an issue, but the message has changed

2. in the log, the message was "python: can't open file '/bin/salome/appli_gen.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory"
So there are still files that have not been created.

When running the installation, the terminal printed:
Verifying archive integrity...
All good.
Done

Final configuration

I will appreciate help if someone found a solution to the problem.

Thanks by advance

Re: Salome Meca V2020.0.1 installation .\salome not working

Hey Infocheck, thanks for the reply.

So I tried it, I re-started each time the download failed and... well the problem is still there.
But the message in the log changed, it is now ./create_appli.sh: line 136: python2: command not found
Which is strange, is not this version supposed to work with python 3 only ?

The message in the terminal is now

Verifying archive integrity...
All good.

I honestly do not know where to begin with to solve the problem

Re: Salome Meca V2020.0.1 installation .\salome not working

Hello,
You are writing about SM2019 but on message list I see V2020.
First check Your /home folder : What folders called Salome... You have.
Then check Python version:
On terminal type: python --version

Re: Salome Meca V2020.0.1 installation .\salome not working

Hello,

Python version is 3.8.5.

As for the version of Salome Meca, my first post was about 2019 because 2020 download always failed, then after you suggested that 2019 may have issues with ubuntu, I reran several times the download until it completed, so my second post was about v2020. But the issue, or at least its effect, is the same.

In the /home folder, I have a folder salome_meca, om which I have 2 folders for each version (2 for 2019, 2 for 2020):
appli_V2020.0.1_universal_universal which contains
    appli_V2020.0.1_universal_universal.log 
    config_appli.xml

V2020.0.1_universal_universal which contains
    create_appli.sh 
    README                     
    salome_prerequisites_root.sh
    icon.png         
    salome_context.cfg         
    salome_prerequisites.sh
    modules         
    salomemeca_custom_appli.py 
    sha1_collections.txt   
    plugins         
    salome_modules.sh           
    tools
    prerequisites   
    salome_post_install.py

Re: Salome Meca V2020.0.1 installation .\salome not working

It's look's like Python problem.
My suggestion is:
Install python 2 or edit file "create_appli.sh" and try to change python2 to python3

Then try to recreate SalomeMeca 2020
