QtiPlot

We have an unlimited campus license for QtiPlot valid until 2027-11-03. This includes all new versions until the end of the license. If you need a newer version that is not here please contact us (admin@pkm.tu-darmstadt.de)

The newest packages can be found here: http://mirror.infra.pkm/qtiplot/ (accessible in local net or via VPN)

The QtiPlot owner has enabled the possibility that all persons having a valid e-mail license hosted by our institute (ending in '@pkm.tu-darmstadt.de') download the QtiPlot installer files directly from their website.

The two steps login process is described below:

  1. Enter your email address in the password field on a login page (e.g. https://www.qtiplot.com/login_exe.html).
  2. A verification code together with a verification link is sent to the email address provided. Warning: the spam folder should be checked if the email with the verification code is not received.
  3. Once the validity of the email address is verified, the email address needs to be entered again in the password field.
  4. Done, the installation files can be download directly from their website.

Install notes for Intel macs

If you experience a crash when trying to run a fresh installation of QtiPlot on a mac with an Intel chip, please perform the following steps:

  1. Completely remove QtiPlot by moving the QtiPlot icon from the Applications folder to the bin.
  2. Reinstall QtiPlot using the latest installer available for your chip (Intel).
  3. Start QtiPlot from a terminal window using the -d option, by typing the following command: /Applications/qtiplot.app/Contents/MacOS/qtiplot -d&

Point 3 is only necessary the first time you start QtiPlot, afterwards everything should work normally.
