THIS PAGE IS IN PROCESS OF BEING EDITED TO REFLECT THE AGREEMENT TO REBRAND EMC2 AS LINUXCNC



Installing a precompiled binary package



The simulator mode is useful for playing with gcode onscreen, but not for measuring jitter or driving actual machinery.

EMC2 is not supporting 11.04, but the simulator can be installed on 64-bit hardware with following package:

LinuxCNC 2.5 and its predecessor EMC2 2.4 are not supporting Ubuntu 11.04, but the simulator for EMC2 2.4 can be installed on 64-bit hardware with following package:

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".
These instructions install version 2.5.1 or 2.4.7. Versions 2.5.0 and version 2.4.6 is also available, just make the appropriate change in version number in the basename of the appropriate deb file. Version 2.4.5 has a spurious dependency on fglrx.

When the install is done, just run "linucnc" if you installed LinuxCNC 2.5 or "emc" if you installed EMC2 2.4. You've got to pick a "sim" configuration from the Configuration Selector, otherwise HAL whines about a missing library in "probe_parport: dlopen".

Removed: 44d49
The above uses version 2.4.6. Version 2.4.5 has a spurious dependency on fglrx.
