Hello,

I'm new here and I'm new in electronics, also very interested in IC and digital logic. I have used this wonderful site to learn many things, but I still have 1001 question and I hope that you guys will help.

So for the start can anyone recommend app. for Linux similar to LTSpice on Windows?
What software do you guys use?

 

I'm not using Linux but I remember seeing a description in LTSpice help file that mentioned it can be run in WINE under Linux.

Running Under Linux The program has been tested on Linux RedHat 8.0 with WINE version 20030219, RedHat 9.0 with WINE 20040716, and SuSE 9.1 with 20040716.

OK, I've never used WINE, how do I install this?

Check with http://www.winehq.com to find the current version of WINE for your system. At the time of this writing, for RedHat 8.0, this pointed to http://mecano.gme.usherb.ca/~vberon/wine
Copy the appropriate .rpm file to your machine and open it from nautilus.
Get the file swcadiii.exe from http://www.linear.com. In an xterm, execute "wine swcadiii.exe" to install LTspice.
There will now be a Linear Technology Logo on your gnome desktop. Double click it to start or type "wine scad3.exe" from an xterm to start the program.

 

Thank you for the quick respond.
