TROUBLESHOOTING

---

Solutions to common problems:

• I do not have Linux Ubuntu and cant follow the instructions for my distribution Solution: Linux Ubuntu is a free Linux/GNU distibution. Simply install it, if you do not wish to install Ubuntu on your system use a Virtual Machine (e.g. VirtualBox) and install Linux Ubuntu on there.

• The program does not run besides be following Installation and Configuration instructions Solution: Please make sure you meet all the requirement. I would recommend ensuring your graphics drivers are up-to-date and following the Installation/Configuration instructions again. Make sure you
