Thanks. I have tried all those in the home dir and the /home/cnc dir

I will reload linuxcnc tomorrow and start afresh

Umm a reload is not needed...

Can you see the 7i96 file with ls? if not, ./7i96 will not work as that means execute the 7i96 file in the current directory

Thanks Peter I see a 7i96 file in /home/cnc/.local/bin/ and started a terminal there and tried 7i96 to no avail then I did ./7i96 and the config tool showed up no prob.

So is the file in the wrong place. If so how do I correct it? Could I copy the file to the home dir?

The file is in the right place, you must have an issue with the path. Did you check the path with echo $PATH?

Don't move that file as it points to .local/lib/site-packages/python3.5/m7i96...

python 7i96 will not work as it is python3 and there is a shebang line in the main file to load python3.
