Mint 18.2 is based on what  version of Ubuntu ?

Edit : I think is based on Ubuntu Xenial.

Hi Scorpio,

I can't force to install v0.6. Official repository has version "qelectrotech (1:0.5-1) unstable;"
I try to force in Synaptic to install lower version but it's ignore my setting and always install from official repository v0.5.5.1

I'm new in Linux environment. Can you give me some advice how to force installation from your PPA?

You need to create pinning file like this
https://qelectrotech.org/wiki_new/doc/install_ubuntu


sudo nano /etc/apt/preferences.d/40qelectrotech-devel

Paste this :

Notice : this 's for 0.6 PPA, change version to 0.70 for 0.7-dev PPA.

Package: qelectrotech*
Pin: version 0.60.*
Pin-Priority: 1001

Ctrl + X  for save 

sudo apt-get update

or open your synaptic and refresh repo.

Thank you Scorpio! That's help.
One more question: where I can find project examples? They are installed but I can't find it on my HDD.

Re: QelectroTech 0.6 on Linux Mint 18.2

On : usr/share/qelectrotech/examples

Project examples provided are very small and old projects.
