Python problem on Octoprint install

[Mister Fab]

Hi all.

As I want to use my raspberry pi 2 to control my 3d printer, and still use ubuntu mate, I tried to follow this tutorial:

https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/wik ... g-Raspbian

I installed python 2.7.1, got the octoprint package, but when lauching the command "./venv/bin/python setup.py install" I get errors, and my linux level is not high enough to find out where the problem comes from.

It would be nice if someone could help me to understand.

commands used:

Code: Select all

cd ~
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev python-setuptools python-virtualenv git libyaml-dev build-essential
git clone https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint.git
cd OctoPrint
virtualenv --system-site-packages venv
./venv/bin/python setup.py install
mkdir ~/.octoprint

errors::

Have you tried this... http://octoprint.org/download/
Apparently... "Guy Sheffer maintains “OctoPi”, a Raspbian based SD card image for the Raspberry Pi that already includes OctoPrint plus everything you need to run it:"
May be an easier option.
