Hi, Fern.
I can't seem to get this to work. I started again and had AXIS running properly. Here's what I did next:
- Extract NativeCAM download to my home folder. This will install a folder NativeCAM-master.
- For some reason the unzip creates ~/NativeCAM-master/NativeCAM-master/. I moved the inner one up to ~/ to keep the file paths shorter.
- Go to ~/NativeCAM-master and double-click on ncam.py. It will install the NativeCAM application in standalone mode and open it up.
- Open a Terminal window.
- Start AXIS pointing it to my ia-mill.ini.
LinuxCNC Errors (abbreviated)
Any ideas? This all seems a bit more difficult than it should be!

Instead open a terminal in ~
and use : git clone github.com/FernV/NativeCAM.git
Erase ~/NativeCAM-master and everything you created with those commands and follow the instructions.
All in a normal user terminal in your home directory
1- clone with : git clone github.com/FernV/NativeCAM.git
2- cd NativeCAM
3- ./ncam.py to make sure it runs stand alone and no package is missing, you can delete ~/nativecam directory later
4- close nativecam
I RECOMMEND THAT YOU NOW RUN : sudo ./nondeb_setup.py c
THEN ISSUE THIS COMMAND : sudo ./nondeb_setup.py
Try : linuxcnc /home/cnc1/NativeCAM/configs/sim/axis/ncam_demo/mill.ini
This will start linuxcnc with nativecam embedded
When satisfied, convert your inifile with this command from ~/NativeCAM directory :
./ncam.py -i /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ia-mill.ini
A backup ia-mill.ini.bak will be created.
Run linuxcnc normally using : linuxcnc /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ia-mill.ini

Thank you very much for your help. I've followed your instructions exactly and am almost there.
linuxcnc /home/cnc1/NativeCAM/configs/sim/axis/ncam_demo/mill.ini
This second-last starts AXIS with the NativeCAM panel.
cnc1@CNCPC:~/NativeCAM$ linuxcnc /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ia-mill.ini
This starts AXIS but without the NativeCAM panel.
Can you spot my error?
Thanks again.

From '/home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ncam' delete 'cfg', 'graphics' and 'lib' subdirs/links
Sometimes it fails to delete old stuff, I have to find out why but the cause may be you started ./ncam.py with a 'sudo' command before.
Restart lcnc with : linuxcnc /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ia-mill.ini

Your errors : Code : [Errno 13] Permission denied
are the result from running : 'sudo ./ncam.py'
The directory : /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ncam
is owned by the superuser
You will have to delete it with : sudo rmdir /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ncam
You should not have any problems with /home/cnc1/NativeCAM directory
Then restart : linuxcnc /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ia-mill.ini
