Hi Team,
I have tried installing given below layout file in Cent OS 7 but it is throwing me error as "Sorry,Something went wrong" but couple of weeks back I was able to install following file in Cent OS 7.
layout-20200801-RHEL7.x86_64.rpm
I am using following configuration in Cent OS 7 in VM ware.
RAM - 4 GB
Processor - 1
Hard Disk - 50 GB
Could you please help me out to install layout-20200801-RHEL7.x86_64.rpm in Cent OS 7. Thanks!

If a LayoutEditor package is already installed on your system, a subsequent reinstallation of a newer version sometime causes an error message. In that case uninstall the old package before installing the new package.
You can check if a LayoutEditor package is installed on CentOS7RHEL/ with
```rpm -qa |grep layout```
The LayoutEditor package can be removed with a
```rpm -e layout```

Hi Team,
Thanks for a quick response.
I have removed my VMware itself and trying to install fresh layout package for Cent OS 7. Getting following but when I tried downloading again it throws me same error as "Sorry,Something went wrong"
```
[saurabh@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa |grep layout
[saurabh@localhost ~]$ rpm -e layout
error: package layout is not installed
[saurabh@localhost ~]$
```

Do you get the error message when downloading or during installation? If the download fails, please try to download the required file from a different computer. I have just double check the download server: anything there is fine. In case the installation fails, please run from the command line:
```
yum install -v /path/to/package/layout.rpm
```
or
```
rpm -iv /path/to/package/layout.prm
```
it will give you more detailed information about the problem. Possible problem can be that a required third package is not available on your system or you don't have the required system right to install it.

I am getting error while installing the software. Following snippet is for that, I think it's the permission issue or dependency issue.

Yes, that is a permission issue. The installation needs to be performed as *root*

One more question, If I install layouteditor in Ubunto or Windows, which one works best as I am getting issues in Cent OS 7 ?
Jürgen LayoutEditorFull Monday 5th October 2020
The LayoutEditor will work on all system similar. On all systems you will need administration rights for installation. So for example for Ubuntu you will also need *root* access to install it. For all platforms an installer is provided.
For applications using OpenAccess PDK CentOS or RHEL or Ubuntu is recommended as PDK developer often do not support Windows.
