photoscan install on unbunt

[Danic]

I don't know how to install PS on my unbunt pc every time it told me that i don't ha ve the automatic installation file??

[KEgg]

Its very simple.. first off there is no debian installer for PS, its a compressed file (tar.gz). Uncompress the file, by right clicking and selecting 'Extract Here'. When looking in the folder you'll find a file called 'photoscan.sh'. This is a simple bash script that acts as the executable to launch PS. Double click on the '.sh', and as long as its permissions are set to be executable, a selection of options will pop up, click 'run' and PS will launch.

Alternately, open a terminal, navigate to the folder and execute the '.sh' by typing   ./photoscan.sh   

This will allow you to see if there are any issues on launching.

hope this helps

Either if I click on it or with the shell comand, nothing happen!
Please help

(do I need to place it somwhere for example in the application folder?)
I have a debian distribution

Hello,

Make sure that there are no space symbols in the path to the photoscan.sh containing folder.

We will fix it in the next update, but for current version the solution is described above.

There are no space symbols, I have also tried to move the folder photoscan from Downloads to the desktop and Home.


When I run it from the shell it gives:
Syntax error: ")" unexpected

Hello,

That's very strange error, because there is no ")" in photoscan.sh.

Can I modify th .sh to make work? How?

Haven't looked at this post for a while... Just realized that there's an obvious question that wasn't asked....

Are you using a 32bit install of Ubuntu?

PS is for 64bit. The ")" output in terminal will happen if you try to start PS on 32bit Ubuntu distro.

Oh!! Yes Thanks for the tip, this is probably the case...I am running a 32 bit version of Linux is there a PS version for 32 bit OS?
Thanks

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Thanks for clarification, Mike!

is there a PS version for 32 bit OS?

Currently there is no PhotoScan version for 32-bit Ubuntu.

I had the same problem.  In my case PS would not run until I installed the latest graphics card drivers (ATI).
