RaspPi2, Octoprint, & TFT Touch Screen

[not_tasha]

I hope this is the right place:

So with my Raspberry Pi 2, I have downloaded the image for Octopi from https://github.com/guysoft/OctoPi . My plan is to use Octoprint to run my 3D printers. I have the 2.8" TFT Touch Screen and am trying to download the drivers for it onto my Pi (following the install instructions https://learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pd ... rry-pi.pdf). I don't want to re-write the whole sd card, I just want the parts needed for the screen to run.

I'm a newbie with Raspberry Pi and cannot for the life of me figure out where I'm supposed to install the drivers, add the codes, or anything else. I also want to add the commands for turning the #23 GPIO into an on/off button for the screen. I keep finding instructions that say to open a terminal window for this or that, but it's unclear to me where to find the terminal (or am I supposed to use the Terminal app in the applications folder on my Mac?). Where do I write commands? Where is the repository for my RP2?

I did try turning the RP2 on with after I downloaded the Octopi OS, the screen turned on but was blank, so I know the driver is a must.

I feel like whatever piece of information I'm missing is most likely something that should be obvious.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!!!

and did you try the DIYInstallerscript from page 15 of that manual?
and did it break the octopi system?

do you understand that octopi is a kind of remote thing,
when you want operate it you use the build in webserver interface
( any computer, any browser )
when you want touch the system login SSH ethernet or WIFI ( headless )
but if you still want try to install the TFT better do it on a octopi copy card.
