Did you update the Wheezy sources file since it hit EOL anything to do with apt install broke until you point to the archives.

Done that already, it just wont install nativecam no matter what. Starting to get more than frustrating.

Have you found the ncam executable? You might need an explicit path to it.

Then, even when you find it, it probably needs to be started as ./ncam

If it gets installed in /home/user/.local/bin Debian may not be able to find it. I know that Debian 9 does not include the path to .local/bin and you have to put a .xrcsession file in the home directory to fix that. See item 3 here

Cant find it or even the nativecam folder anywhere. Need to figure this out later as now I'm out of time. I'll get to run my parts at the university machine.
I'll dig around more as I have catch up the time lost with current linux setup fiasco.

Not working, nothing gets downloaded for some reason. Week past and no change. Any step by step guide from start to finish?
Manual download and install? Complete working disk image, something.
I am done with trying. When nothing works.
Gone from good and working to complete useless after all changes and updates. Cnc works every single time, ncam is no where to be found.
It just don't exists anywhere. And it's not my network I can download anything I choose but nativecam.
