Take a look at this thread: forum.linuxcnc.org/nativecam/39068-nativ...ge-for-buster-please

The third message from russtuff has a solution that worked for me.

Wow, Thank you for the tip, I had already tried this and failed but in the intervening few weeks i have obviously learned enough about linux that this time it worked! i now have 10 hard drives in the drawer all with blank installs and working Ncam.

thanks do much again, it really make a difference.

cheers

Does anybody know if there's a way to run nativecam with python3 on debian 11/devuan4?

when i click on (ncam_debsetup.text)my browser open up window that show me text and not download it
can plz tell how to download it or just copy the all text in notepad and copy it in linuxcnc and then run sudo bash ncam_debsetup.text .

Is it possible to install nativecam on a raspberry PI 4 with raspbian buster?
