Category: Installing LinuxCNC
This script installs linuxcnc master branch (2.10) after you have installed the ISO on the downloads page.Hakan has tested and refined this further down this thread so I have updated the script here.
You may want to move to version 2.10 to get the latest QtPlasmac for example as the version in 2.9.4 is no longer maintained.
\Instructions:
1. Download attached script
2. Delete the .txt.extension3. Check permisssions are executible (Right click, Properties and check Permissions tab)
4. Run the script from the folder it is downloaded to: sudo ./update-master.sh
The script deletes and modifies some files in the /etc/apt folder and sub-folders. It does make a copy of the /etc/apt folder into your home folderI tried on one PC and it worked. On another PC it didn't. If it fails, open the file and run each line individually
after the apt upgrade is complete, running linuxcnc should show version 2.10 on startup in the console and the splash screen.
To update down the track
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
