The Linux installer for Dymola is available upon request from the reseller. The installer comes as a .zip file, in the .zip file are a couple of .rpm files. Ubuntu is .deb based, but .rpm packages can be converted to .deb using alien. The resulting .deb package can then be installed using dpkg.

Here are the steps required on Xubuntu 16.04.

  • Install a couple of packages that will be required later on
  • `sudo apt-get install zip unzip
  • sudo apt-get install alien rpm lsb
  • sudo apt-get install libjpeg62 libqt5x11extras5 libqt5script5
  • sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386 g++-multilib
  • Then, copy the installer .zip file to e.g. Downloads
  • unzip it and cd to the linux_x86_64 directory
  • run sudo alien --scripts -k dymola-2017.1-1.x86_64.rpm or adapted and wait a couple of minutes, the results should be a .debfile
  • install the .deb file by running sudo dpkg -i dymola_2017.1-1_amd64.deb
  • after installation, entering dymola in a terminal should open Dymola
  • configure Dymola, especially the license stuff
