Talk:Build a reprap

Are we just gonna lump everything on this one page or are we gonna link out to other pages? I suggest linking out and that way we can focus our effort.

Never mind...already being done. I'm an idiot.

My view is that the page should give enough info when read on its own for someone to know what they need to do/order to get going. At the same time it needs to be short and simple enough to not put people off trying. I've been aiming to put the 'what is required' stuff on this page and the 'what to do once you get it' on linked out pages.

For the Linux(debian) software instructions, wget might be more appropriate than downloading firefox (assuming anyone hasn't got it). Also by calling bash with the script execute bits don't need to be set, which is one less thing to go wrong.

> sudo apt-get install wget

> wget http://objects.reprap.org/mediawiki/images/0/03/Reprap_setup.sh

> sudo bash Reprap_setup.sh

> ant run

The apt-get line is unlikely to be needed, but won't hurt
