For Linux distribution since Ubuntu 21.04 a warning is displayed during installation #207
Conversation
…splayed during installation. A simple message not to worry about it is simply added at that point of the installation.
| If you see this message during the installation for a Linux distribution don't worry it will be explained later on: | ||
| ``` | ||
| qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" | ||
| ``` |

Thanks @emmanuelha for the PR
It might be nice to detail when the warning occurs

It is when we run ./SOFA_v25.06.00_Linux-Python_3.12.run
I can add it but the purpose of this section of the documentation:
is to run the .run file so it might be overkill what do you think?

But I can add some more instructions to make it a bit "easier" even if that's just installation file to launch
| If not just run this from a location where you want SOFA to be installed (replace the version by the one you want to use): | ||
| ``` {.bash .optional} | ||
| mkdir build | ||
| cd build | ||
| curl -O https://github.com/sofa-framework/sofa/releases/download/v25.06.00/SOFA_v25.06.00_Linux-Python_3.12.run | ||
| chmod u+x SOFA_v25.06.00_Linux-Python_3.12.run | ||
| ./SOFA_v25.06.00_Linux-Python_3.12.run | ||
| ``` |

Problem of this section is that it is Linux specific and assumes the use of a commands

Yes I see.
The place for this snippet of code would be in https://www.sofa-framework.org/download/ to allow Linux users just to copy paste it but the UX would be very messy.
Forget this idea.
I guess the simplest solution would be to use conda to install sofa https://github.com/sofa-framework/conda-ci to get a unified and centralized way to install sofa with only conda.
