Installing TikzEdt on Ubuntu 14.04

Question

I switched from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 14.04 and want to install TikZ editor TikzEdt (See here and here). I would highly appreciate if someone explain me how to install it. Thanks

Solution

It's pretty simple, just follow the instructions provided at the second link (here).

1. You need Mono and Latex, so run this command:

   sudo apt-get install mono-complete texlive-full
   

2. Then download the file provided at that page (TikzEdt_2_1_Linux.tar.gz)

3. Copy/paste the downloaded file to the location where you want to run it from.

4. Run:

   tar -xf TikzEdt_2_1_Linux.tar.gz
   

   in the same folder as the downloaded file.

5. Once it's finished extracting, run:

   ./tikzedt
   

You should be good to go!

(+1): Thanks @RPI for your answer. I accomplished upto point 4 but could not run TikzEdt using instructions given in 5. Any thoughts. Thanks

Okay, can you get into the directory where you extracted the .tar.gz file and give me the output of the ls command? Also, the output of the ls command in the directory where you downloaded the .tar.gz.

This is the output of ls command of the directory where I extracted the .tar.gz file, the same place where I downloaded the file. google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb teamviewer_linux.deb mendeleydesktop_1.12.3-stable_i386.deb TikzEdt_2_1_Linux.tar.gz Release Tinn-R 1.17.2.4 setup.exe rstudio-0.98.1091-i386.deb Tinn-R 1.17.2.4 setup.rar

@MYaseen208 Sorry about never getting back to you...I got busy. Have you figured it out yet? Otherwise, I can try and give you some more pointers to figure it out...

[MYaseen208]
