Installing a precompiled simulator package |
Once this 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". |
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". |
In the following instructions, remember that releases of LinuxCNC prior to version 2.5 were called EMC2.
Note: if wget is not already installed, "sudo apt-get install wget"
On a 32-bit machine (where "uname -m" gives i386 or i486 or i586 or i686):
-For 2.5 (e.g. LinuxCNC)
wget http://www.linuxcnc.org/lucid/dists/lucid/linuxcnc2.5-sim/binary-i386/linuxcnc-sim_2.5.1_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc-sim*.deb sudo apt-get -f install
-For 2.4 (e.g., EMC2)
wget http://www.linuxcnc.org/lucid/dists/lucid/emc2.4-sim/binary-i386/emc2-sim_2.4.7_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i emc2-sim*.deb sudo apt-get -f install
On a 64-bit machine (where "uname -m" gives x86_64):
-For 2.5 (e.g., LinuxCNC)
wget http://www.linuxcnc.org/lucid/dists/lucid/linuxcnc2.5-sim/binary-amd64/linuxcnc-sim_2.5.1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc-sim*.deb sudo apt-get -f install
-For 2.4 (e.g., EMC2)
wget http://www.linuxcnc.org/lucid/dists/lucid/emc2.4-sim/binary-amd64/emc2-sim_2.4.7_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i emc2-sim*.deb sudo apt-get -f install
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".
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:
