NativeCam raspberry Pi 4

Ok so I'll just wipe the Hdd and start again. Again.
It's not me reverting it's the git won't give me 2.9 nor does synaptic.
I give in.

If you have not erased your HDD yet, don't.

I had a version for development that was not in continuity with any other

Here what I did and succeeded the first time

The information you need is here :
but I did not follow all steps and I did not reboot at all.

First in Synaptic remove completely linuxcnc-uspace,
Then I followed only steps 7 to 10

Voila, I had version 2.7.9 installed

I was then able to install NativeCAM as described in the first post

LinuxCNC has released version 2.7.9 that fully support applications like NativeCAM as deb package.

If your version is updated to 2.7.9, you should now change your setup to use the deb with automatic updates
Follow these simple steps.

1. copy this command (it will setup your repository) :
   Code:

   curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/FernV/NativeCAM/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
   and enter pwd when asked
2. copy this command : sudo apt-get install nativecam
   and enter pwd when asked

That's all there is
You can now delete ~/NativeCAM directory

First a big thank you to Fern for a great package.

I have done my update from 2.7.8 to 2.7.9
I have tried to run the command "curl -s packagecloud.io/install/repositories/Fer...iveCAM/script.deb.sh | sudo bash" from a terminal and I get the error "curl" command not found

Dose it matter which directory it is run from?

It can be run from any directory.

It seems not installed in your distribution, what is it ?

Your can try to locate it with : "locate curl"
usually you should have "/usr/bin/curl" in the list

then try "man curl"

I do not know if another command can be used to replace it at this moment

Fern

P.S. maybe this command can install it
Btw, script.deb.sh should install curl if not found but the script can not be imported by curl, I will check with packagecloud.io

Fern Thanks for replying you are correct. For the benefit of others I had installed from standard Wheezy iso then brought it up to 2.7.9 curl was not loaded so I installed it with "sudo apt-get install curl" and then run your command line "curl -s packagecloud.io/install/repositories/Fer...iveCAM/script.deb.sh | sudo bash" without problems.

Hi Fern,

I ran your new script you updated in post #1 of this thread. It appeared to run and install everything without error.

What is lacking is any info on where NativeCam now resides and how to launch it ! I have not deleted my old NativeCam directory just yet because I have not located the new installation ! Also, I am guessing that my old tooltable and configs were not ported into the new install and I will need to redo those along with my desktop shortcuts.

Can you give some instructions for the issues above? Also, how to launch it imbedded with the latest installations. Myself and a lot of others are not very proficient in linux operations.

thanks
George
