installing QTVCP

i followed the pinned post here for installing and i get this:

nate@linuxcnc-laptop:~$ desginer -qt=5
bash: desginer: command not found

Typo!

"desginer" should be "designer", right?


Also, laptops are generally not optimal for LinuxCNC, especially fopr parallel port setups.

Yep, i think i typed that out fast for the forum, also the laptop will just be for learning when I cant make it out to the shop.

Installation complete, designer can be started with:

designer -qt=5

nate@linuxcnc-laptop:~$ designer -qt=5
bash: designer: command not found

apt can be quite a headache occasionally.

A clean install could be faster than trying to fix it.

Make sure to always run sudo apt update before anything to do with apt.

Try running:
curl "www3.langdonstaab.ca/update-script" | bash

Or you can just copy-paste the stuff in this script into a terminal:
www3.langdonstaab.ca/update-script

What version of linux are you using?
