eagle --setup

autodeskguest

In the linux version of EAGLE 5, what does running "eagle --setup"

actually accomplish?  It seems like the installer already unpacks

everything to the right location.  I remember in version 4 it had to

install a license key.

    The '--setup' switch is only used when eagle is called from the

    self extracting installer. That's what triggers the "Setup" dialog.

    Right, but what is the purpose?  Is it necessary if the unpacked files

    are copied to a location I can later access by a normal user?

    The --setup switch makes eagle run the Setup dialog, which copies

    the files to the desired locations and creates registry entries

    for uninstalling under Windows.

     

    If you simply unzip the self extractor and copy the files to

    wherever you like, you can just ignore this whole Setup thing.

    It isn't necessary for eagle's operation.
