While I haven't spotted a specific "Install" section, the brief English FAQ offers this: >>> how do i run the software ? Do i need to compile the program ? No, gCAD3D is selfextracting; execute the package from the filebrowser or start from the commandline with: ./gCAD3D-1.xx-Linux-x86 (as normal user (not root); this extracts gCAD3D into directory ~/gCAD3D). If you do not have a gCAD3D-Icon on you Desktop, start gCAD3D from a terminal-window (see below). You do not need the installer-program (gxInstall). <<< I haven't tried it. (I'm waiting to see if you still like the thing after kicking its tyres a bit. ;-) While clicking on things, to see how it works, and glancing at the old English manual for a clue, I'd expect you'll occasionally need the more current German information, in order to figure out why you and it can't agree on what it should do. If you just email which section at which URL is needed, I'll try to grab enough time to do a quick translation. (My acute food intolerance prevents me having more than one coffee a week, so I can't promise perfection in the technical bits.) > Any translation efforts if it has been setup for po type translations, would > surely be appreciated. Sorry, that's Greek to me.

(And if it's convenient to put up another of your informative photographs, it'd help those of us who have a little more trouble with the "imagineering".
