May I test BTP for Linux also?

Post by sfraga »

Hello, Jeff. I'm a brewer from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil that uses BeerSmith for a long time, but I have a friend that uses BeerTools and show me the software. I liked so much but I'm using Linux for 3 years (Ubuntu 10.04 now) and would like to test BeerTools running on it. Where could I download it? Thanks a lot.

Hello Jeff,
with the current update I am no longer able to open btp with the icon that it installs in the science section of the menu but if I go to the folder and open one of the recipes the program will open. do you know what might be wrong or a work around to this?

I have removed and reinstalled a few times now with no luck.

thanks

I really don't know much about how the items in that menu are linked. Anyone here know what blindguardian can check?

BTP for Linux

Post by huxley75 »

Jeff, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and would be really interested in trying out BTP for Linux. BTP is honestly the only reason I'm keeping Windows XP alive on a second computer!

BTP for Linux

Post by tankers »

tgz got my vote only because there was not an all of the above choice. I regularly use multiple distributions, so i would love to have correct package formats for all.

BTP Linux

Post by malt_n_hopps »

Would like to try BTP For linux. Willing to give feedback! Using Mostly Ubuntu, but do use others. I had BTP working ok with WINE, but with the latest update, it's a no go. Would love to try the Linux versions.

Thanks

Free BTP Linux License for Current Customers

Post by jeff »

If you currently own the Mac or PC version of BeerTools Pro I will issue you a free license for the Linux version if you are a Linux user. The Linux version is not for sale in the store but I will make it available in downloads by request. This version is not officially supported and contains some known issues, but some customers are finding it useful.
