complete.zipin the directory of your choice - we recommend~/ldraw/if you don't want to worry about file permissions.
Step 2: Install LDCad
- Go to http://www.melkert.net/LDCad and download the Linux version of LDCad
- Unzip the package into the directory of your choice
- Run LDCad
- When asked for the location of the LDraw Library, use the directory where you unzipped
complete.zip.
Step 2b: Other editors
- The Konstruktor editor is also under development and may offer an alternative to LDCad.
