Install current master 2.8

I will check this on monday

Tero

I have installed the master branch using the master zip archive from Github,I used the default Linuxcnc Debian ISO(rtai) to install
it because it has most dependencies installed. I can't find the master in Synaptic package manager but I can still run it from place .I've disabled the default Linuxcnc in Synaptic. My problem is the rip-environment script which I don't know how to use. I can't start the Stepconfig to setup 4axis gantry plasma machine.XYYZA.Norbert told me to start the config linuxcnc-dev/configs/sim/gmoccapy/gmoccapy-JA/Gantry/gantry_mm.ini .Do not forget to start from terminal and do a rip-environment befor starting the config.Than change the sim config to fit your needs.I don't know how to start it.

Follow the instructions on the buildbot to configure synaptic. See
buildbot.linuxcnc.org/

Very easy

Not quite. What is this?

"Upgrading to a new major version

If you're upgrading from one major version to another, for example from 2.6 to 2.7, you may need to do config changes! Read about it on the Wiki."

What do I need to read on the Wiki?

Happy Days

I would have referred you to the manual.

Hey guys,

Today I tried to download the master branch for wheezy with uspace: realtime with RT-Preempt, but it seems that the buildbot server is down .

Is there another way to install the linuxcnc master with rt-preemt ?
Thanks in advance

Dunno where you will get 2.8 from without the buildbot but I have just installed this and upgraded from it it installed the new linux image i think 9.3 over 9.2 but haven't run the cnc yet to know what version it is

Looks like buildbot is back up and running again it just upgraded me to 2.8
