Hello

I am new to LibreCad.  I used to be pretty good in AutoCad and ProE.  I'm retired and interested in working on some small projects that this seems like it will work for.  

I am actually struggling with just installing it.  I downloaded from github.  I use Windows 11.   The problem is that I don't see any kind of .EXE file to run to install LibreCad.  I downloaded the zip file and uncompressed it.  I have a folder for LibreCAD 2.2.1.1 with 171 mb.    I watched some utube videos and they just click on an install file that seems obvious to them.  I have read the manual and it leads me back to the download page.

I am sure I am just missing something easy but after a couple hours I am not finding it.

Any advice is appreciated.

Hi SetShot,

Welcome!

https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/releases

From the link, you can find lots release builds. Sorry for being messy there.

For windows 11, you should choose 2.2.1.1 Release candidate win64 exe.

You may also try our latest development win64 exe, but it's not really stable enough for daily usages, but we(I mean sand1024 working alone) are adding lots of CAD features in the development branch.

You may also try 2.2.0.x, but it's not under active development anymore.

Thanks - that worked.  I had downloaded the wrong folder.   Now time to dig in and see what I can do.
