## Klipper
|
||
### Installation
|
||
The following commands will clone Klipper to an appropriate directory in HOME and run the setup script.
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd ~
|
||
git clone https://github.com/KevinOConnor/klipper
|
||
cd ~/klipper
|
||
./scripts/install-octopi.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Configuration
|
||
After Klipper is installed, you will need to change the default location of the printer.cfg and add the UDS (unix domain socket). This is defined in the file `/etc/default/klipper`
|
||
|
||
To edit this file type:
|
||
```bash
|
||
sudo nano /etc/default/klipper
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
find the following line:
|
||
```
|
||
KLIPPY_ARGS="/home/pi/klipper/klippy/klippy.py /home/pi/printer.cfg -l /tmp/klippy.log"
|
||
```
|
||
and change the config location to `/home/pi/klipper_config/printer.cfg` and add `-a /tmp/klippy_uds` to define UDS.
|
||
```
|
||
KLIPPY_ARGS="/home/pi/klipper/klippy/klippy.py /home/pi/klipper_config/printer.cfg -l /tmp/klippy.log -a /tmp/klippy_uds"
|
||
```
|
||
Save the file with `CTRL+O` and close the editor with `CTRL+X`.
|
||
|
||
You have to create the directories for your klipper configuration and the virtual_sdcard directory:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
mkdir ~/klipper_config
|
||
mkdir ~/gcode_files
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Move your printer.cfg to ~/klipper_config and check if the following entries are present in the config.
|
||
```ini
|
||
[virtual_sdcard]
|
||
# for gcode upload
|
||
path: ~/gcode_files
|
||
|
||
[display_status]
|
||
# for display messages in status panel
|
||
|
||
[pause_resume]
|
||
# for pause/resume functionality.
|
||
# Mainsail needs gcode macros for `PAUSE`, `RESUME` and `CANCEL_PRINT` to make the buttons work.
|
||
```
|
||
> ℹ️ **These entries are very important.**
|
||
For the full functionality of mainsail, you should also define gcode macros for `PAUSE`, `RESUME` and `CANCEL_PRINT`. You'll find further information in [this](../../necessary-cfg.md){: target="_blank"} document.
|
||
|
||
After your config is in place, restart klipper with `sudo service klipper restart`. Check the `/tmp/klippy.log` for errors, if Klipper starts correctly you can continue the guide.
