Installazione del software RepRap
Contents
Prerequisiti
Il software RepRap funziona con Linux 32-bit e Microsoft Windows. Stiamo lavorando a versioni per MAC e 64-bit.
E' necessario avere Java installato. Se non è già installato, puoi scaricarlo da:
Avrai anche bisogno di scaricare ed installare l'ambiente di sviluppo Arduino per il firmware della tua macchina RepRap. E' disponibile presso:
Infine dovrai scaricare ed installare gli add-ons Sanguino per Arduino:
RepRap Download
La distribuzione più recente del software RepRap è disponibile da Sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/reprap/
Troverai parecchi files e pacchetti, ma il download principale (65 MB circa) avrà un nome del tipo reprap-nnnnnn-yyyymmdd.zip. Questo è l'unico file necessario. E' il principale download per RepRap; nnnnnn è il nome della macchina RepRap e yyyymmdd è la data della release.
Installazione Linux
Puoi installare e utilizzare RepRap per un solo utente.
In your own space
Unzip the downloaded file:
$ unzip reprap-nnnnnn-yyyymmdd.zip
Verrà creata una directory reprap-nnnnnn-yyyymmdd (nome della macchina RepRap e data della release). To run the RepRap software simply move to that directory and run the file named reprap:
$ cd reprap-nnnnnn-yyyymmdd $ ./reprap
Installing for all users
If you want RepRap to be available system-wide to all users, you will need to log in as the superuser to install it.
Assume you downloaded reprap-nnnnnn-yyyymmdd.zip into the directory /xxx/yyy. Move to the directory /usr/local, then unpack it:
# cd /usr/local # unzip /xxx/yyy/reprap-nnnnnn-yyyymmdd.zip
Then move to the /usr/local/bin directory and create a short shell script called reprap using your favourite text editor (gedit in the example).
# cd /usr/local/bin # gedit reprap
Copy and paste these three lines into the script, then save it:
#!/bin/sh cd /usr/local/reprap-nnnnnn-yyyymmdd ./reprap
(Don't forget to replace the nnnnnn and the yyyymmdd with the right strings for your distribution file.)
Finally, set execute permission on the file:
# chmod 755 reprap
Any user will now be able to run the software just by typing the command "reprap".
There is a RepRap teardrop symbol in the file /usr/local/reprap-nnnnnn-yyyymmdd/reprap-icon.png which people can use if they add the program to their desktop or task-bar as a clickable executable. The program is /usr/local/bin/reprap .
If you want to save space, you can now delete the distribution .zip file:
# rm /xxx/yyy/reprap-nnnnnn-yyyymmdd.zip
Windows Installation
You will need administrator privileges to do this.
Create a new folder:
C:\Program Files\Reprap
Unpack the ZIP file anywhere you like on your system. It will create a folder called reprap-nnnnnn-yyyymmdd where nnnnnn is the name of the current RepRap machine and yyyymmdd is the date of the release. Move all the files in that folder into C:\Program Files\Reprap.
You can then delete the reprap-nnnnnn-yyyymmdd if you like, and the ZIP file.
In C:\Program Files\Reprap there is a .BAT file called reprap.bat. Running that will launch the RepRap host software. You can copy that .BAT file to your desktop or elsewhere to give you a clickable executable.
