Help Documentation #26

Closed KitchM closed 5 months ago

This is all a little confusing.

The Help>Help menu gives popup: FreeCAD help files not found (/usr/share/doc/freecad-doc/freecad.qhc). You might need to install the FreeCAD documentation package.

I installed the Help in addon manager, where it said that it is old and outdated. Then it says it is already added in version .22, but that is not currently available.

I restarted and nothing happened. Later, the addon manager listing changed to say something else.

In all this, there is still no Help in the program.

What FreeCAD version are you using please?

KitchM commented 5 months ago

I am so sorry. I forgot the required info. I was using Debian's 19.1 version. Because it could not be upgraded, I switched to: [code] OS: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) (XFCE/xfce) Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.21.2.33771 (Git) AppImage Build type: Release Branch: (HEAD detached at 0.21.2) Hash: b9bfa5c5507506e4515816414cd27f4851d00489 Python 3.10.13, Qt 5.15.8, Coin 4.0.0, Vtk 9.2.6, OCC 7.6.3 Locale: English/United States (en_US) Installed mods:

The help installed on this appimage version. (Even though it was supposed to install on the 19.1 version, it would not. But that does not matter now.)

Thanks.
