Install Candle Ubuntu Focal 20.04
We cant run candle in ubuntu 64 bits. It gives an ELF error, so we need to replace the executable.
This instructions ar for the version 1.0 as my CNC 3018 have the old firmware.
For the last one, just change the urls and the name of files.

#else
m_settingsFileName = QDir::homePath() + “/.config/Candle/settings.ini”;
