Install jpsvis in Linux Mint 20.1 #926

Closed RudinaMSubaih closed 2 years ago

RudinaMSubaih commented 2 years ago

I'm trying to install jpsvis in "Linux Mint 20.1" OS and during the installation of requirements I got the following error:

$ sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools libvtk9-dev
[sudo] password for rudina:          
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 2526 (synaptic)
N: Be aware that removing the lock file is not a solution and may break your system.
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?

VTK9 library is not available in Linux Mint 20.1

Base on JuPedSim/jpsvis#129 it seems that you already managed to install VTK9 and QT5. @RudinaMSubaih I assume this can be closed, right?

I managed to install jpsvis in Ubunto 21.04. In Linux Mint 20.1 these packages are not supported (VTK9, QT5). Thanks to Kai for recognizing this. I need to re-compile jpsvis to download it in Mint, or to change my OS on my work laptop.
