It supports multiple user databases and comes bundled with **DSR 2021 (Civil)** and **DSR 2022 (E&M)**. The program is organised in three tabs - Schedule Items, Details of Measurements and Resource Items. Schedule Items implements an interface to input the estimate schedule/import the schedule from a .xlsx file. On editing (`Edit`) any schedule item an Analysis View is displayed allowing edit of the rate analysis. Details of Measurements allows the details of measurements to be recorded against items added under Schedule Items. Resource Items allows input/manipulation of the resources like material, labour and tools/plants upon which the rate analysis will be framed. The estimates can be rendered into a .xlsx document from `Menu->Export...`. The exported sheet includes - the schedule of rates for the work, schedule of resources, details of measurements, resource usage for the work and analysis of rates for various items of work. ### Package name * gestimator --- ### License * GPL-3.0+ --- ### Last updated * 27 January 2025 - latest/stable * 20 August 2025 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [manuvarkey.github.io](https://manuvarkey.github.io/GEstimator/ "https://manuvarkey.github.io/GEstimator/") --- ### Contact * [manuvarkey@gmail.com](mailto:manuvarkey@gmail.com "mailto:manuvarkey@gmail.com") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/gestimator/rhel#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and install GEstimator Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap is available for [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8](https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-8) and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward. The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below. The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 9** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 8** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 7** with the following command: ``` sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm ``` Adding the *optional* and *extras* repositories is also recommended: ``` sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms" sudo yum update ``` Snap can now be installed as follows: ``` sudo yum install snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install GEstimator To install GEstimator, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install gestimator ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
