New Probe Basic install - error during install.

Just machine control. I'll try the apt install.

just for clarification, in Linux with any program when installing in terminal, if dependencies are missing they will cause an installation error, you need to read the terminal after each command to verify if the installation was successful or if there was a complication that needs to be addressed, it will give you any clues as to what is wrong very clearly.  so in your example, there are missing dependencies as shown in the terminal boxed in red outline.  the solution is to immediately run after that installation command the following command shows in red text.  that should resolve and then the previous installation will continue automatically and complete.  now if you ignored any of the dependency errors in previous installation lines for linuxcnc, hiyapyco, qtpyvcp, you would need to go back and rerun those in the correct order from the docs and running the dependency fix directly after each.  the order is important because each item is a dependency of the previously installed component.

linuxcnc > hiyapyco > qtpyvcp > probe-basic

 


 

Working on fixing the broken install.
I wasn't able to do that previously because I was not the root user. Some google sorted me out there.

I'm pleased to report that I have successfully installed Probe Basic!
This is a huge win for me because Linux and LinuxCNC have been my nemesis since I first tried using it in 2021 when I built my PrintNC router. I gave up because I simply did not know what I was doing. Four years on, and three CNC build later I have a modicum of a clue now.
Each of the posts in the thread represent more learning for me and your help has well, helped me get to where I wanted to be.
Thanks all!
 

Glad you got it sorted, I will add this to the docs for the next release

As a LinuxCNC rookie I'd be happy to test-drive any documentation.
