Installing a precompiled binary package

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

Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin)

There is no precompiled package for this release, but the simulator can be installed manually by following [these steps]

Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric)

There is no precompiled package for this release, but the simulator can be installed manually by following [these steps]

Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)

EMC2 is not supporting 11.04, but the simulator can be installed on 64-bit hardware with following package:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45105575/emc2_2.4_SIM_for_U11.04.deb
This is a static made package with no planned release, use as is.

Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)

It's very easy. On a 32-bit machine (where "uname -m" gives i386):

  sudo apt-get install wget
  For 2.5
  wget http://www.linuxcnc.org/lucid/dists/lucid/linuxcnc2.5-sim/binary-i386/linuxcnc-sim_2.5.0_i386.deb
  sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc-sim*.deb
  For 2.4
  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
  For 2.5
  wget http://www.linuxcnc.org/lucid/dists/lucid/linuxcnc2.5-sim/binary-amd64/linuxcnc-sim_2.5.0_amd64.deb
  sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc-sim*.deb
  For 2.4
  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.

Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)

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-sim
Then 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.

Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake)

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-sim
Then run the following commands:
     gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key BC92B87F
     gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 96935D7D
     gpg -a --export BC92B87F | sudo apt-key add -
     gpg -a --export 96935D7D | 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.
