Installation on Ubuntu 20.04¶

I had some troubles downloading FlatCAM, so here are some links and how I proceeded in case I need to install it again.

See this link for the installation on Ubuntu 20.04.

Sources files can be found here.

Download .zip of beta version here
Extract the folder.
Launch the installation file.
```
sh ./setup_ubuntu.py
```

Start the app

python3 ./FlatCAM.py

I had this error:

ejoz@ejoz-xps-13:~/Applications/FlatCAM_beta_8.994_sources$ python3 FlatCAM.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "FlatCAM.py", line 6, in <module>
    from app_Main import App

    from appDatabase import ToolsDB2

    from ezdxf.math.vector import Vector as ezdxf_vector
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ezdxf.math.vector'

I found a solution here.

So I changed the line 10 of the file appParsers/ParseDXF.py by:

try:
    from ezdxf.math.vector import Vector as ezdxf_vector
except ImportError:
    from ezdxf.math import Vec3 as ezdxf_vector

I had this error:

ejoz@ejoz-xps-13:~/Applications/FlatCAM_beta_8.994_sources$ python3 FlatCAM.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "FlatCAM.py", line 58, in <module>
    VisPyPatches.apply_patches()

    markers._marker_dict['++'] = cross_lines
AttributeError: module 'vispy.visuals.markers' has no attribute '_marker_dict'

I found a fix here.

sudo pip uninstall vispy
pip  install vispy==0.7

And it finally worked
