May 1 2026: APP 2.0.0-beta43 has been released !

Improved internal memory controls (much more stable and faster on big datasets), fixed CPU image viewer, fixed Narrowband extraction demosaic algortihms.

Apr 29 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta42 has been released !

New improved Normalization engine, Fixed random crashes in integration, fixed RGB Combine & Calibrate Star Colors, fixed Narrowband extraction algorithms, new development platform with performance gains, bug fixes in the tools, etc...

Apr 14 2026: Google Pay, Apple Pay & WeChat Pay added as payment options

Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual

We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.

Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.

Hi, the title says it all.  APP installs successfully under Debian, but clicking on the menu item does nothing?

What happens if you try form the command line? Unfortunately I do not have APP installed on Linux (only on a MacBook) so I don't know the correct command. But from the command line you should hopefully get a message explaining why APP fails to start.

If it installed correctly it lives under /opt/AstroPixelProcessor

cd /opt/AstroPixelProcessor

./AstroPixelProcessor

Does that launch?

OK.this is what I get.
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by ./AstroPixelProcessor)

I am upgrading now so maybe that will solve the problem.

Do you have libstdc++ 6 installed? If not - something like this?

sudo apt-get install libstdc++6

?

Yes, APP is written in and runs on Java and unfortunately Java has a dependency on certain system libraries to be in certain versions. In short, upgrading to a newer version of Linux Mint probably is the only way forward.

@wvreeven

Thanks for the prompt replies.  I have now upgraded to Linux Mint 19 and it works fine. 🙂
