THIS PAGE IS IN PROCESS OF BEING EDITED TO REFLECT THE AGREEMENT TO REBRAND EMC2 AS LINUXCNC
sudo apt-get install wget wget http://www.linuxcnc.org/lucid/dists/lucid/emc2.4-sim/binary-i386/emc2-sim_2.4.6_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i emc2-sim*.deb sudo apt-get -f install
On a 64-bit machine (where "uname -m" gives x86_64):
sudo apt-get install wget wget http://www.linuxcnc.org/lucid/dists/lucid/emc2.4-sim/binary-amd64/emc2-sim_2.4.6_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i emc2-sim*.deb sudo apt-get -f install
Once this is done, just run "emc". You've got to pick a "sim" configuration from the list, otherwise HAL whines about a missing library in "probe_parport: dlopen".
The above uses version 2.4.6. Version 2.4.5 has a spurious dependency on fglrx.
For 2.3.1 add the following 2 lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list :
deb http://www.linuxcnc.org/hardy hardy base emc2.3-sim deb-src http://www.linuxcnc.org/hardy hardy base emc2.3-simThen run the following commands:
gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 8F374FEF gpg -a --export 8F374FEF | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install emc2-sim sudo apt-get install emc2-dev
and you should be set.
add the following 2 lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list :
deb http://www.linuxcnc.org/emc2 dapper emc2.3-sim deb-src http://www.linuxcnc.org/emc2 dapper emc2.3-simThen run the following commands:
