Dear all,

I am trying to install xAct on my Mathematica 11 running on the Ubuntu LTS 18.04 platform on my work computer (I have another Mathematica 8 on Mac OS which works fine with xAct) - I followed the installation guide 


for Linux and put the xAct folder into $HOME/.Mathematica/Applications/, but when I run

<< xAct`xTensor`


all I got was an error message: Get::Failed. 


So I'd like to ask whether anyone has successfully installed xAct on Mathematica 11 on Linux (Ubuntu)? I am currently using a trial version of Mathematica, but that should not affect the installation of xAct?


Thanks in advance for any information you guys could give me!

Dear all,

Please ignore this previous message. The problem has been resolved and I managed to get the installation to work today.
Best,
HL
