ethercat command not found after full installtion was created by itsnotryan
I have been trying for the past few days to get the ethercat working with Linuxcnc but my lack of knowledge about the Linux environment does not allow me to even start the project. I have all the necessary hardware and have the Debian 10 version with rt kernel and linux cnc preinstalled and I did all the installation procedure according to this link:
forum.linuxcnc.org/10-advanced-configura...at-on-raspberry-pi-4
The installation completes with no errors but I get a after i reboot and try to runI would appreciate if anyone could help
bash: ethercat: command not found
[i]ethercat[/i] master

EtherCAT is not installed as part of LinuxCNC (due to worries about the EtherCAT license)
You need to install the EtherCAT drivers separately.

I think that the install instructions are here: wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?EtherCatDriver

The driver has two parts . the master and what connects to HAL
You can find the master here : gitlab.com/etherlab.org/ethercat
The component that links it to HAL can be found here : github.com/sittner/linuxcnc-ethercat (This also has some good examples )
But installing them directly is a bit of a workout, so you might want to check this out :
github.com/sittner/ec-debianize
