I really love using Cura for my 3D printing slicing needs. And I reallylove Linux. But with my recent upgrade to Linux Mint 18, Cura will no longer run. From the menu I'd try to start Cura and all I'd get was nothing. Nothing at all would happen. Starting Cura from the command line showed me what part of the problem was. To install Ultimaker Cura, please visit the software product page on our website. Select download and choose your operating system. After downloading, run the installation wizard. Note: The experience of the installation wizard may differ per operating system.
Ultimaker Cura is a slicer, an application that prepares your model for 3D printing. Optimized, expert-tested profiles for 3D printers and materials mean you can start printing reliably in no time. And with industry-standard software integration, you can streamline your workflow for maximum efficiency.

Usage
Cura is available as an AppImage which means 'one app = one file', which you can download and run on your Linux system while you don't need a package manager and nothing gets changed in your system. Awesome!
AppImages are single-file applications that run on most Linux distributions. Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered.Most AppImages run on recent versions of Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and other common desktop distributions.
Running Cura on Linux without installationUnlike other applications, AppImages do not need to be installed before they can be used. However, they need to be marked as executable before they can be run. This is a Linux security feature.
Behold! AppImages are usually not verified by others. Follow these instructions only if you trust the developer of the software. Use at your own risk!
Download the Cura AppImage and make it executable using your file manager or by entering the following commands in a terminal:
Then double-click the AppImage in the file manager to open it.
Sandboxing Cura
If you want to restrict what Cura can do on your system, you can run the AppImage in a sandbox like Firejail. This is entirely optional and currently needs to be configured by the user.
Updating Cura
If you would like to update to a new version, simply download the new Cura AppImage.
Integrating AppImages into the system
If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see Cura and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon.
Note for application authors
Thanks for distributing Cura in the AppImage format for all common Linux distributions. Great! Here are some ideas on how to make it even better.
Pro Tips for further enhancing the Cura AppImage
Please consider to add update information to the Cura AppImage and ship a
.zsync file so that it can be updated using AppImageUpdate. Tools like appimagetool and linuxdeployqt can do this for you easily.
Thanks for shipping AppStream metainfo inside your AppImage. Please open a pull request on https://github.com/AppImage/appimage.github.io/blob/master/data/Cura if you have changed it and would like to see this page updated accordingly.
If you would like to see a donation link for the application here, please include one in the AppStream data.
