CAD Schroer released the Fourth Generation of the globally renowned MEDUSA engineering product suite. Its powerful software tools were developed to work the way engineers do, helping you get product to market faster, and designs to customers quicker and more efficiently. Now MEDUSA4 Personal users can benefit from additional functionality, and support for the current versions of the following Linux distributions: CentOS, Fedora, Mandriva, RedHat, SuSE and Ubuntu.
The MEDUSA4 Personal version is functionality nearly identical to the professional MEDUSA4 version but is intended for non-commercial use by private individuals. The product allows you to import but not export data, and sheets are clearly marked as having originated from the personal use version. This workshop describes step by step, how to install MEDUSA4 Personal on an OpenSuse 10.3 client.

 

 

Step 1: Getting a proper license key

MEDUSA4 Personal can only be used on PCs with a correctly installed network card. You need to provide the MAC address of your client machine while requesting the license.
Check you MAC address using the following command:

ifconfig -a

Please use the following link to apply for a license key.

This key file expires in six months and can only be used on the machine
with the specified host id.

 

Step 2:  Installing the program

According to the Installation Guide, you will need 550 MB of free disk space, and a minimum of 512 MB of RAM.

 

 
Please download the program to your hard disk and  ensure that the path name contains no blank spaces or special characters. Make the file executable by using the following command and start the installation from the terminal:

chmod 775 medusa4_v3_0_1_linux_personal.sh
./medusa4_v3_0_1_linux_personal.sh

Some Linux distributions will need additional libraries (compat-libstdc++-33 or libstdc++). Please check the Installation Guide for further information.

An installation Wizard will guide you through the setup process. It should normally work without errors, but if an errors occurs, it will be reported  in the file log.txt located in the installation path.

Please follow the installation process step by step:

 
Step 3: Starting the Medusa4 first time and get additional help

After the installation, you should check for error messages. You can start the program using the following command from you console:

/opt/medusa4_pers_v3_0/master_project/startmedusa
