Hello Dominic,

The file you downloaded (chitubox_vX.X.X.tar.gz) need to be extracted first. You can create a folder ~/app and extract il here. You just have to double click on the link named AppRun to run Chitubox.

The commands you have ran have installed some dependencies that the program uses.

I hope it will help you !

could you pass the mac installer to my email thank you very much! nicodarr8@gmail.com

the app doesn't run when i use the apprun executable.  i ran the commands in the read me file and it changed nothing.  in fact, the comand line "sudo apt-get install libssl1.0-dev" came back with nothing. 

i just got a elegoo mars and was really excited to get started with making some mini's and dice masters for molds, but have hit a major snag.  

Hi Dominic,
Have you tried running the executable via the terminal? And if it didn't work, what errors are you getting?

it's libssl1.1-dev ion ubuntu 18.04 and later

on Ubuntu 20.10 I get this

QSslSocket: cannot resolve CRYPTO_num_locks
QSslSocket: cannot resolve CRYPTO_set_id_callback

Reading up on this points to chitubox using symbols which have been _removed_ from Debian Stretch. The pacakge needs remaking against a current distribution (even better, turn it into a .deb file)

Open terminal and type

sudo su (changed to su)

apt update (update whats available)

apt upgrade (upgrade all your software)

apt install synaptic (makes it easier to see whats what)

synaptic (go & check/install)

in synaptic search libssl (below is mine xubuntu 18.04.5

exit synaptic

download chitubox linux

extract to a folder you can find.

Open a terminal in that folder

then check folder ls

me:~/Downloads/chitubox_1.8.0/CHITUBOX 1.8 Beta$ ls

AppRun  CHITUBOX lib  plugins  qml  qt.conf  resource  saves  translations

Then run ./CHITUBOX

me:~/Downloads/chitubox_1.8.0/CHITUBOX 1.8 Beta$ ./CHITUBOX

If it has errors you’ll see them in the terminal else it loads & runs.

I get the oddSegmentation fault so have changed auto save to 5 minutes

dont know why all the spacing except I used the advanced editor
