Alternatively, you can run python in 32 bit mode by setting the following environment variable before running the setup.py command:
### Fedora 15 and newer
This alternative approach is confirmed to work on Mac OS X 10.6.8.
You can run Printrun directly from source, as there are no packages available yet. Fetch and install the dependencies using
`export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes`
`sudo yum install pyserial wxpython pyglet`
`sudo python setup.py install`
### Archlinux
Then repeat the same with http://http://pyglet.googlecode.com/files/pyglet-1.1.4.zip
Packages are available in AUR. Just run
# USING PRONTERFACE
`yaourt printrun`
To use pronterface, you need:
and enjoy the `pronterface`, `pronsole`, ... commands directly.
* python (ideally 2.6.x or 2.7.x),
* pyserial (or python-serial on ubuntu/debian),
* pyglet
* pyreadline (not needed on Linux) and
* wxPython
# USING PRONTERFACE
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.
