Re: /trouble Installing Printrun

Okay, so I went to https://github.com/kliment/Printrun and followed the directions for downloading and installing the first four of five files listed under the Windows requirement.

Granted... I've absolutely no idea what I'm doing here other than attempting to follow github's directions for installing Pronterface Printrun. As far as I can tell the process is going as expected at this point.

Then when I attempt to download the .zip file in Step #5 I get the message from Google: "The requested URL. /files/piglet-1.1.4.zip was not found on this server. That's all we know."

Any suggestions how I can complete the fifth step required to manually install Printrun on a Windows 10 PC would be appreciated.

Thanks!

V/r, - guy

Some searching turns up their new home (*):
https://bitbucket.org/pyglet/pyglet/wiki/Home

The Download link offers the current release as a PIP install, but I haven't a clue as to whether that would work in Windows. The direct download link takes you to their collection of files right up through the bleeding edge. The stable release is 1.2.4, so fetch this one:

https://bitbucket.org/pyglet/pyglet/dow ... -1.2.4.zip

I think the ZIP file will arrive in your Downloads directory. If not, make sure you know where it went.

Start a Terminal window, then:
  • cd Downloads (change the current directory to wherever the ZIP file went)
  • unzip pyglet-1.2.4.zip
  • cd pyglet-1.2.4/
  • python setup.py install
With fair skies and a tail wind, that should do the trick ...

(*) I don't know why the old link is broken, but IIRC Google changed their project support / source code repository stuff a while ago and, obviously, the Printrun doc isn't following along. That suggests Printrun has very few Windows users, so you can do a Good Deed for the others by creating an issue describing how you got it working on Win 10.
