Goal: To Add FSRS to Anki Linux Version: Linux Mint 22.2 [Zara] Anki Version: 2.1.15 (442df9d6) Qt 5.15.13 PyQt 5.15.10 Failed Attempts to Add FSRS: 1: Failed: Gear Icon for Any Deck Did Not Work: Launches Options but not option for FSRS 2: Failed: Code for FSRS Did Not Work: Anki Code used - 7…

Dear Danika, You are so smart !! Yes. You are right, the ARM version is not meant for me. I, instead, used anki-26.05-linux-x86_64.tar.zst, right click, select from menu “extract here” and placed extracted file on my desk top. Next I returned back to the desk top and double-clicked the executabl…

https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/759844606 For Anki version in 2.1.55 - 2.1.66 (no longer maintained) For Anki version >= 23.10 Enable built-in FSRS Built-in support for FSRS was added in Anki 23.10, released on November 1, 2023. Prior to this, FSRS could only be used through third-party add-ons…

[image] kaiu: … released on November 1, 2023. Prior to this, FSRS could only be used through third-party add-ons. That’s not accurate. Prior to being built-in functionality, FSRS could only be enabled through Custom Scheduling. The Helper add-on could be used with that, but it didn’t enable F…

Thanks for everyone’s quick reply. To be clear, I did use the recommended website ankiweb [as recommended by Kaiu] to select Linux (ARM) 2024+ which, in turn, downloaded Anki Version: 2.1.15 (442df9d6) Qt 5.15.13 PyQt 5.15.10; offering a packet with tar.zst file extension that landed in my local do…

Thank you very much for the last explanation…I think the older version may have spawned from the default software manager. Now I have the latest version 25.05, I did extract the tar.zst and used my terminal to complete installation. My terminal did say “complete” and to enter “anki” after changing…

Is the ARM version the right Linux build for your system? [I don’t know the answer to that question, but as a Linux user, you should know.] [image] Have you reviewed the install instructions/platform notes – Install & Upgrade - Anki Manual ?

Might be worth it to include a little command into the docs so that people can find out their architecture. E.g. uname -m [1] returns x86_64 in my case. So I know I have to use the x64 download. But I’m not sure how easy this is going to be, due to the list of architectures being long and not the mo…

I had been toying with suggesting we mark the Windows ARM build as [rare] or [uncommon] or [less common] (because it is, right?). It seems unlikely that a typical Windows user would know the difference between an x64 chip and an ARM chip, unless they are using ARM. But I could see Windows 11 users l…

[image] Danika_Dakika: Is one of the architectures “rare” for Linux too? I don’t think so. At least if you consider that linux is installed on almost every non-consumer device. But talking about laptops and desktops, I assume the cpu architectures are just as common / uncommon as with window…
