Note that every time you start a new terminal you have to cd to ~/linuxcnc-dev and run
$ source scripts/rip-environment

In the config selector select 'Sample Configurations/sim/gmoccapy/gmoccapy' and click the OK button. This should open a 3-axis simulation configuration with gmoccpy gui.

To setup a real machine running on parallel port run:
$ stepconf

for mesa board:
$ pncconf


[edit]
to open linuxcnc with the last used configuration you can use the  -l option (lowercase L):
$ linuxcnc -l

This is only required for older mesa boards, so you can probably ignore that message and continue by clicking ok then you should be able to start to set up a new configuration

Why is it reffering to i386?
Should be amd64, besides not finding what it is looking for. :(

You may have to install pip first:
sudo apt install python3-pip
