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.

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:
The standard PATH almost always includes /usr/bin
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))
