OK.  I know this is going to be a long shot, but it sure would be nice if it works.  First I'm going to try to get this to work on my ARM64 Lenovo Chromebook C330 with Linux emulation - totally encouraged by the comment in the ReadMe that says "the AppImages also run on Chromebooks that support Linux apps" though I understand that's the x86_64 architecture - but still - hopeful!  Anyway, I have downloaded and set the execute bits on Cura-mb-master-aarch64-20201121.AppImage and when I try to execute it, this happens:

steinhelten@penguin:~$ ./Cura-mb-master-aarch64-20201121.AppImage
./Cura-mb-master-aarch64-20201121.AppImage: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

I tried to use apt to load libraries, but both were not found:

steinhelten@penguin:~$ sudo apt-get install libgles-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libgles-dev

steinhelten@penguin:~$ sudo apt-get install libz
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libz

 

So - I know this is a long shot, but if anyone has a suggestion for me, I'd like to try it.

 

Failing this - what about the X11 remote display capabilities of running the program on my RPI4 4GB but having the display be my ChromeBook?  I think, in theory, that should be possible, if I ever figure out the permissions correctly, and figure out how to set the DISPLAY environment variable correctly...

I used to use Cura on my old Chromebook, I got it just by downloading the .AppImage from their website and then opened it with ./(whatever-I-called-it).AppImage  you have to open it that way every time so try to name it something short, I just used "c". Hopfully this works for you too 😃

Hi 

newb here so im probably missing somthing simple but how do you run/execute the CuraEngine.exe file? as far as I know .exe files are only executeable on windows.

And also is that the only file I would need to download or is there other stuff that is needed?

 

Cheers
