Trouble embedding Nativecam was created by skrap58

This is my first post so please let me know if I need to change or add anything.

I have linuxcnc 2.7.9 running on debian wheezy. Ihave used the script ncam_debsetup.txt to install NativeCAM and the locate command shows it is indeed downloaded

bill@cncpc:~$ locate ncam
/home/bill/linuxcnc/ncam_debsetup.txt
/usr/share/linuxcnc/aux_examples/NativeCAM/2.7/axis/ncam.ui
/usr/share/linuxcnc/aux_examples/NativeCAM/2.7/gmoccapy/ncam.ui
/usr/share/linuxcnc/aux_examples/NativeCAM/2.8/axis/ncam.ui
/usr/share/linuxcnc/aux_examples/NativeCAM/2.8/gmoccapy/ncam.ui
/usr/share/linuxcnc/aux_gladevcp/NativeCAM/ncam.glade
/usr/share/linuxcnc/aux_gladevcp/NativeCAM/ncam.py
/usr/share/linuxcnc/aux_gladevcp/NativeCAM/ncam.ui
/usr/share/linuxcnc/aux_gladevcp/NativeCAM/ncam_pref.glade
/usr/share/man/man1/ncam.1.gz
bill@cncpc:~$

It seems I need to move theses files to /home/bill/linuxcnc but I am not sure exactly which file to move.
I have tried to follow instructions in readme.md file and the results are below

bill@cncpc:~$ ncam -i my-mill.ini -t -c mill
bash: ncam: command not found

Please point me in the correct direction.

Bill

You probably just need to provide the full path to ncam in this line

bill@cncpc:~$ ncam -i my-mill.ini -t -c mill

Deb installs (like nativecam) typically put required executables
in a system directory (usually /usr/bin) so that they are available
to all users with a standard PATH setting in their environment.
Full path names are seldom required for such executables.

You can run some shell commands to see if the deb is installed correctly.
For example:

$ dpkg -l nativecam # Check if pkg is installed (-l (letter) not -1 (one))
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name       Version  Architecture Description
+++-==========-========-============-=================================
ii  nativecam  0.1.6    all          Conversational programming for Li

$ dpkg -L nativecam|grep bin # List all files with bin in name
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/nativecam
/usr/bin/ncam

$ which ncam # Check if ncam is in your PATH
/usr/bin/ncam

$ ls -lL $(which ncam) # Verify x bits (-l -L)
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 185795 Jul 16 20:31 /usr/bin/ncam

$ ncam -h  # Test if it is there using just -h
Standalone Usage:
   ncam [Options]

Options :
...

The standard PATH almost always includes /usr/bin

$ echo $PATH
