## Windows
A precompiled version is available at http://koti.kapsi.fi/~kliment/printrun/
This section suggests using precompiled binaries, this way you get everything bundled into one single package for an easy installation.
Download the following, and install in this order:
If you want the newest, shiniest features, you can run Printrun from source using the instructions further down this README.
1. http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/python-2.7.2.msi
2. http://pypi.python.org/packages/any/p/pyserial/pyserial-2.5.win32.exe
3. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.12.0-py27.exe
4. http://launchpad.net/pyreadline/1.7/1.7/+download/pyreadline-1.7.win32.exe
5. http://pyglet.googlecode.com/files/pyglet-1.1.4.zip
For the last one, you will need to unpack it, open a command terminal,
go into the the directory you unpacked it in and run
`python setup.py install`
## Ubuntu/Debian
`sudo apt-get install python-serial python-wxgtk2.8 python-pyglet`
## Windows
## Fedora 15
`sudo yum install pyserial wxpython pyglet`
A precompiled version is available at http://koti.kapsi.fi/~kliment/printrun/
## Mac OS X Lion
## Mac OS X
A precompiled version is available at http://koti.kapsi.fi/~kliment/printrun/
1. Ensure that the active Python is the system version. (`brew uninstall python` or other appropriate incantations)
2. Download an install [wxPython2.8-osx-unicode] matching to your python version (most likely 2.7 on Lion,
check with: python --version) from: http://wxpython.org/download.php#stable
Known to work PythonWX: http://superb-sea2.dl.sourceforge.net/project/wxpython/wxPython/2.8.12.1/wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-2.8.12.1-universal-py2.7.dmg
3. Download and unpack pyserial from http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pyserial/pyserial-2.5.tar.gz
4. In a terminal, change to the folder you unzipped to, then type in: `sudo python setup.py install`
5. Repeat 4. with http://http://pyglet.googlecode.com/files/pyglet-1.1.4.zip
## Linux
### Ubuntu/Debian
The tools will probably run just fine in 64bit on Lion, you don't need to mess
with any of the 32bit settings. In case they don't, try
5. export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes
in a terminal before running Pronterface
You can run Printrun directly from source, as there are no packages available yet. Fetch and install the dependencies using
## Mac OS X (pre Lion)
`sudo apt-get install python-serial python-wxgtk2.8 python-pyglet`
A precompiled version is available at http://koti.kapsi.fi/~kliment/printrun/
### Fedora 15 and newer
1. Download and install http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-2.8.12.0-universal-py2.6.dmg
2. Grab the source for pyserial from http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pyserial/pyserial-2.5.tar.gz
3. Unzip pyserial to a folder. Then, in a terminal, change to the folder you unzipped to, then type in:
`defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Prefer-32-Bit -bool yes`
`sudo python setup.py install`
You can run Printrun directly from source, as there are no packages available yet. Fetch and install the dependencies using
Alternatively, you can run python in 32 bit mode by setting the following environment variable before running the setup.py command:
`sudo yum install pyserial wxpython pyglet`
This alternative approach is confirmed to work on Mac OS X 10.6.8.
### Archlinux
`export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes`
Packages are available in AUR. Just run
`sudo python setup.py install`
`yaourt printrun`
Then repeat the same with http://http://pyglet.googlecode.com/files/pyglet-1.1.4.zip
and enjoy the `pronterface`, `pronsole`, ... commands directly.
# USING PRONTERFACE
To use pronterface, you need:
* python (ideally 2.6.x or 2.7.x),
* pyserial (or python-serial on ubuntu/debian),
* pyglet
* pyreadline (not needed on Linux) and
* wxPython
Download and install the above, and start pronterface.py
When you're done setting up Printrun, you can start pronterface.py in the directory you unpacked it.
Select the port name you are using from the first drop-down, select your baud rate, and hit connect.
Load an STL (see the note on skeinforge below) or GCODE file, and you can upload it to SD or print it directly.
The "monitor printer" function, when enabled, checks the printer state (temperatures, SD print progress) every 3 seconds.
