Sheetcam Linux Download
Our group has been using Sheetcam for years on Windows. We are moving from Mach to LinuxCNC and we would like to move Sheetcam to Linux too. When we download the file for both 32 and 64 bit versions, there is no file extension so we just get a bunch of binary code in the browser. I have tried working around this and I was able to finally get a file. However, I have tried adding every archive extension I know of to the file and I am still unable to get the file to extract.
Any ideas here?

To download the link right-click on it and select 'save as'. To install the file right-click on it an select 'properties'. Go to the permissions tab and make sure 'execute' is turned on. You can now simply double click on the file to install SheetCam.
If you want to manually unzip it you have to use the command line. Open a terminal and navigate to the folder containing the downloaded file. Next use this command (32 bit version): For the 64 bit version:

Thanks for the quick reply, Les!
When I mark the file as executable nothing is happening when I go to execute the file (double click or right click and execute). When I attempt to unzip in terminal using gunzip I get a "unknown suffix --ignored" error.

Thanks!

Got it. That worked. Now I have a folder (~/Downloads/SheetCAM) with the three folders in it. Then I navigate to the data folder and right click on run-sheetcam, then properties, permissions, and check allow this file to run as a program.
After that, when I double click on the file nothing happens. When I right click and select "execute" nothing happens.
I know I am missing something simple, but I am not sure what it is.

I have uploaded a test version to www.sheetcam.com/tst/SheetCam_setupV6.1.37-32 (right-click this link and save as). This should be compatible with all versions of glibc down to V2.7. You should be able to just download and run this version without having to unzip it.

OK, let's try that again. This version was built on Ubuntu 10.04. It should run on later distros as well. http://www.sheetcam.com/tst/SheetCam_setupV6.1.37-32 Right-click and save as. Note if it asks if you want to update, DON'T answer yes.
