Thank you for your advices. In case you would like to know, here is a description of the application called "Maple": https://maplesoft.com/products/Maple/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple
Regarding the "Fedora-30 template", if it has ended it's life long time ago, then why is it still the template version in Qubes R4.0.3 or is it just the shown name of the template in the Qubes Applicatons menu ? Do I understand you correctly "unman", that I can choose to either install the application in a template or just in a AppVM, and if so how do I only install it in a AppVM ? tirsdag den 10. november 2020 kl. 01.49.01 UTC+1 skrev unman: > On Mon, Nov 09, 2020 at 07:21:25PM +0000, 'awokd' via qubes-users wrote: > > 'M' via qubes-users: > > > I have received this file from a administrator at my workplace: > > > "Maple2020.1LinuxX64Installer.run" which I have downloaded to my work > > > domain. > > > > > > My question is then: How can I install Maple in a Fedora-30 template in > > > Qubes OS R4.0. ... ? > > > > > Don't know Maple specifically, but if it's like most packages, you > qvm-copy > > it to the template, then install it there.
