Installing¶
Download the latest deb file from >HERE<.
If the link is not clickable, copy and paste the following URL into your browser
https://github.com/jethornton/flexgui/releases
~amd64.deb is for PC’s and ~arm64.deb is for Raspberri Pi.
Select the latest release and click on the .deb to start a download.
Install with Gdebi from the file manager. If Gdebi is not installed, open a terminal and run this command to install it:
sudo apt install gdebi
An alternative is to install from the terminal outright using dpkg:
sudo dpkg -i flexgui_1.0.0_amd64.deb
After installing Flex GUI, a menu item Copy Flex Examples is added to the CNC menu. This will copy the Flex GUI example files to ~/linuxcnc/configs/flex_examples.
Note
After updating the Flex GUI some examples may have changed. To get a fresh copy of the examples delete the linuxcnc/configs/flex_examples or rename it.
