First, install Debian 11 on the computer.
then run the following to get the RT kernal and update the OS.
su -
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install linux-image-rt-amd64
now you need to download the debs for LinuxCNC from:
i recommend each of the following, in this order:
linuxcnc-uspace_2.9.0~pre0_amd64.deb
linuxcnc-uspace-dev_2.9.0~pre0_amd64.deb
as well as the documentation for the language of your choice.
You need to make sure the username you are logged in with is in the sudo group. how you do that depends on the GUI you installed for Debian 11.
Next, you need some dependencies for Probe Basic:
and maybe these, i am not 100% sure though:
personally, i would hold off on these unless there is a Dependency error.
next, you need to download the Probe Basic installer: i was instructed to use the following, but there may be a newer version when you install:
ProbeBasic-Installer-python3+49.g5880686.run
you will need to make the .run file so it is executable. then run the installer. once the installer completes, you can run linuxcnc, and you will have a simulator config for qtpyvcp, and under that, for Probe Basic. be warned, it takes a lot of screen space, so you will need a monitor set to i think at least 1080p. not taking head of this may mean you will not have access to the close button.
in the simulator configs, there is the needed config values to transfer to your LinuxCNC configs.
as i have not gotten this far yet on my own setup, i will need to post an update to this when i have done so.
