LC 10/Create and Linux?
Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2025 4:27 pm
Hi all,
I'm confused about how I'm supposed to run LC on Linux at present.
I have a LC Create account. The IDE downloads only for mac/win - there is no Linux installer as far as i can see.
There is a Linux Server option but this is obviously not the same thing.
Looking at the website, the "standard plan" i used to have has been replaced by LC Create, however LC 10 is available as student plan or for education.
LC Create includes "classic" which is pretty much LC 10, but you can't install LC Create on Linux.
There are options for getting LC 10, which presumably includes Linux installers, but this is only available for Student and Education licenses.
So while i can run community 9.6.3 on Linux, i would very much prefer to run the IDE I'm paying for.
The only option, judging by the LiveCode website seems to be get a separate student or education license which is obviously inappropriate.
Any suggestions?
