Intro and first problem installing s/w on Linux

[aryeh]

I am evaluating the possibility of using the AD-2 for my student labs (in place of scope/signal gen/PS, etc)

I want to try waveforms in demo mode on my Ubuntu laptop. I get the following error when I try to install Waveforms after Adept:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  digilent.waveforms: Depends: digilent.adept.runtime (>= 2.26.1) but 2.21.3 is to be installed

I installed Adept, but apparently it wants a later version than I am getting.

OS: Ubuntua 21.04, arch is 64 bit intel.

Update: I installed 3.16 (previous version), and that worked. Apparently 3.17 is very new.

But how do I get into DEMO mode?

Update: saying ok when no device is detected gets it into demo mode.

I left this in because maybe someone else will have the same problem.

Hi @aryeh

You can find the new adept 2.26.1 lower in the WF beta page, at v3.16.36
