Install Probe Basic

@lcvette I have LinucCNC 2.9 running on my computer now, installed using this:
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/getting-st...th_preempt_rt_kernel
If I'm understanding the documentation correctly, the above link installs the Debian Bookworm distribution.

To install Probe Basic, do I start at the very beginning of this which seems to install Debian Bookworm.
kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/stable_quick_start_apt.html

Or start here?
kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/quick_start.html

for installing qtpyvcp and probe basic use the apt install, it stay updated and will update as updates are available when you run sudo apt update for the system.

the linuxcnc installation seems to be a moving target, i use my own instructions in the stable_quick_start_apt for installing debian and linuxcnc and it seems to be the most reliable. but you technically should be able to do it the way you outlined above. please report back if you get errors.

Brilliant, that makes complete sense now. I'm a Linux noob so I'll probably ask a bunch of questions with seemingly obvious answers. I do know how to search so I try to keep it to a minimum.

sweet no worries!

This step 5 appears to be missing from the current documentation:

kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/machine_config.html

Step 3: Edit INI files
... only has 4 steps.

thats true, i did that because we now listed everything here in the docs. I will remove the machine setup file ini since it can be copied directly from the docs page instead and will be kept more current. good looking out susan-parker!
