Pronterface Installation Problem

Post by GBuchwitz » Mon Oct 09, 2017 7:19 pm

Hi.

I've been attempting to install the most recent version of Pronterface Printrun on a Windows 10 PC using the five steps listed in the "Windows" section at https://github.com/kliment/Printrun. Step #5 directs the user to download/install "http:/pyglet.googlecode.com/files/pyglet-1.1.4.zip"

Q1: Attempting Step #5 yields the following error message: "The requested URL /files/pyglet-1.1.4.zip was not found on this server. That's all we know." Is there an alternate source for this .zip file?

Q2: The final instruction in the list states, "... run python setup.py install." I'm sorry, but I know nothing about python. Exactly how do I execute this instruction?

Thanks very much or your help.

V/r, -guy

When you asked about that last week, I wrote up a step-by-step description:

Did something fall off the rails when you tried those steps?
Exactly how do I execute this instruction?
To recap my writeup:
  • Download the ZIP file
  • Start a Terminal window
  • Type / copy-paste four commands into it.
Running pyglet's installation routine is the fourth command you type into the Terminal window: python setup.py install

Assuming you don't see any obvious error messages along the way, you should have just installed pyglet.

Then you should be able to start Pronterface and have it run.
