Hi Nate, Thanks much for all the info. A great resource indeed.
I needed to test the P3 utility 1st, and that turned out very simple in my case (Mint 18.3). I just downloaded the tar.gz file, unpacked it to a dedicated library under home, made the executable "execute" & voila it worked. The only disappointment was that again the P3 utility couldn't update my P3's firmware. (that's my original W10 problem, which I wanted to confirm also on Linux.) 73, Isaac, 4Z1TL * On 2018 19 Aug 23:40 -0500, TL_Netvision wrote: > Hello all, > I want to install the K3, KPA500, KAT500 & P3 utilities on a Linux > mint-18.4 computer. > > Any detailed guidelines will be much appreciated. Is your installation of the amd64 architecture? On Mint the following should work: $ dpkg --print-architecture amd64 Also, there is the 'arch' command. If either command returns 'amd64', you may follow the steps I noted on my blog: https://www.n0nb.us/blog/2016/07/running-electraft-utilities-on-linux-amd64- and-multiarch/ If either command returns 'i386' or 'i686', thne your system is 32 bit and the utilities will run directly. A couple of additional packages will be required for complete functionality. As I recently enabled multilib on Slackware, I should document that as well.
