Installing linuxcnc on a standard Debian instance is described in the docs here
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/getting-st...th_preempt_rt_kernel
Just followed the procedure, it was a doddle.
I want to mention a few points I ran into. Maybe others can do there advanage with it.
First: There is a warining not to supply a root password when installing Debian. If you do give a root password then sudo is disabled.
Of cause I had supplied a root password (old habits dont die easily!)
I had two options, reinstall and don't supply a password or find out how to enable sudo. I opted for the second one.
If you search the internet then you can find several sites with advice how to do it.
In the instructions I used the command `adduser username sudo` is used. That command could not be found.
Solution: use `whereis adduser` then use the command with the full path.
The rest is just read first, check and check again then do exact what you are told to do. No further problems.
Now running kernel Linux 6.1.0-23-rt-amd64 with LinuxCNC installed.
Latency tests are a factor 2 better compared to running LinuxCNC life.
I have made some changes in the bios between testing with LinuxCNC life and the current situation but have not (yet) fully tuned this installation.
I want to try the next step, using the RTAI kernel.
Kind regards.
