Ethercat installation from repositories - how to step by step

I think I actually managed to get a nice install.
tomorrow will know for sure... there were some hickups but after trying to get linuxcnc installed on my system I realize that I had a crash-course in trouble-shooting and I learned a lot about the terminal while trying...
I remember that twincat in the early days also was a wildcard.
fingers crossed for tomorow.
I will make a post of all my adventure when I will get the plasma table running... with everything in detail so noobs like me don't have to go thru the torture

I used the one rodw put on google drive
I had the same issues with the one on the linuxcnc download page
MANY THX TO RODW !!!

Yes, print screen works on most distros, although XFCE used by LinuxCNC version of Debian did not work but it had screenshot in the main menu somewhere.

I pushed the prtsc button on the keyboard and it works

Flameshot is amazing for screen shots as you can save to file, to the clipboard, jusat capture a section and annotate your screenshot
sudo apt install flameshot
