I've been using Mill Touch V6 on the BP for a short while and I'm liking what I have.

Any feedback is welcome.

I have tried to install this but the terminal isn't accepting the git clone command

bash: git: command not found.

The pyqt5.qtsql installed fine.

Running fresh install of Debian stretch

You need to install git.
sudo apt install git

or open the synaptic package manager and install git

I keep forgetting that git is not installed by default...

Thanks, that's got me a step closer but its still failing to open
.

Ive copied the config files to the linuxcnc config folder and edited the Ini file but nothing. I even tried opening the ini file in the Mill_touch_v6 folder.

Sorry complete noob

I'm assuming you did the following including the space dot at the end of pip3 install.
Code:
git clone https://github.com/jethornton/mill_touch_v6.git cd mill_touch_v6 pip install -e .

in that case lets check if you have /home/username/.local/bin on the path by typing the following in a terminal.
Code:
echo $PATH

If that is not on the path then you need to add that by doing the following in a terminal.
Code:
printf 'if [ -d $HOME/.local/bin ]; then\n\texport PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"\nfi' > .xsessionrc

Then either log out and back in or reboot.

I'm testing my install on a fresh install of Debian 10 and I see I missed a dependency.

I'm creating some documentation for Mill Touch
