We need the gambas3 PPA for Mint 17. The copy of gambas3 from the Mint 18 repos will not work with i-nex.
Open a terminal and copy and paste each line:
>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas-team/gambas3
>sudo apt update
The post install script for i-nex may fail with an error. I would not normally provide a fix for a such a problem, but this error is coming from a post install script and causes the entire OS to give off errors everytime a new piece of software is installed which is totally unacceptable. The script doesn't do anything but tell their website one more copy has been installed. This fix does not prevent the script from running or modify what it does. It simply returns an exit status of ZERO which means everything went well so that Linux will stop complaining.
Open the post install script with a text editor and add the "exit 0" line to the end of the script.
Open a terminal and copy and paste:
>sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/i-nex.postinst
ok, the issue is gone.
The standard PPA works with mint 18 now.
The copy of gambas3 from the mint 18 repo works fine with i-nex.
You can close this issue.

I had to to build I-nex myself on Linux Mint 18, because package was not available yet, this way:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:i-nex- development- team/libcpuid11
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas- team/gambas3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gambas3 build-essential dh-autoreconf debhelper devscripts python python-all python-dev python-all-dev pkg-config dpkg-dev libcpuid11-dev lsb-release libprocps4-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev gambas3-dev gambas3-gb-image gambas3-gb-qt4 gambas3-gb-form gambas3-gb-desktop gambas3- gb-form- stock imagemagick git
git clone https:/ /github. com/eloaders/ I-Nex.git
