• 1 System Options
  • S5 Boot / Auto Login
    • B1 Console

Klipper and Moonraker Installation

Follow the instructions to install Klipper and Moonraker.

• klipper: https://www.klipper3d.org/Installation.html
• moonraker: https://moonraker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/

In moonraker.conf ensure that 127.0.0.1 is a trusted client for moonraker, such as in this example:

[authorization]
trusted_clients:
  127.0.0.1

Note: force_logins: true requires the moonraker api key in KlipperScreen.conf

If you wish to use the update manager feature of moonraker for KlipperScreen, add the following block into the moonraker configuration:

[update_manager KlipperScreen]
type: git_repo
path: ~/KlipperScreen
origin: https://github.com/jordanruthe/KlipperScreen.git
env: ~/.KlipperScreen-env/bin/python
requirements: scripts/KlipperScreen-requirements.txt
install_script: scripts/KlipperScreen-install.sh

KlipperScreen Installation

Execute the following commands:

cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/jordanruthe/KlipperScreen.git
cd ~/KlipperScreen
./scripts/KlipperScreen-install.sh

This script will install packages that are listed under manual install, create a python virtual environment at ~/.KlipperScreen-env and install a systemd service file.

If you need a custom location for the configuration file, you can add -c or --configfile to the systemd file and specify the location of your configuration file.

At this point KlipperScreen should be working, check out the hardware page if you still haven't installed the screen, or head to the troubleshooting page if you are having problems
