How to install and run Octoprint on a linux laptop/desktop

today I wanna make a video on how to install octo print on Linux because I struggled a bit in the beginning so we go on Google and search for octoprint we have here download and set down we scroll down a bit or the Linux section installed manually so we open a terminal we need to go where first first step is install Python and beep if you already if you don't have them installed you can do foreign I already have them installed so there's no need then you go to a folder where you want to install them and why in this case it's just in my home folder I just have a few stuff here so you run this command to create a bit to uh environment for right this takes just a few moments as you can see it created this folder October if I go you just copied some files libraries and stuff okay next up next step is copy this one to install it you have to put a note not slash so it's in the current world and enter now exactly it's using it's it's showing using cache because I've already installed it before otherwise you would see here downloading these files this day is just a bit as you can see these files are very small like one megabyte a few kilobytes thank you and should be done okay it's done next thing did so we have to run the server so before I hit enter here in order to access it you go to localhost I found this the server is not running now so you see this server we start this server now and click starting reframe the page they still start dinner okay let's refresh okay to login in the username and password it's your um it's the username and the username and password you are logged in in Linux so in my case I'll type this enter and I am connecting now I'll connect my printer and hit connect it's already set serial port on auto and it's connected should show temperature this is my ambient temperature let's suppress let's play Let's type this is gonna bring the printer settings okay so install doctor print now we need to make a shortcut so we can start it without typing in octoping serving console every time we we're gonna create a launcher if you don't hack this option I'll show you just in a second how to do it to other one let's just copy the path for the command and plus octopy foreign terminal [Music] let's pick a random icon okay let's pick this one okay great uh if you don't have this option you just you can just go to desktop and you can see there's a file we create here a file octoprint dot desktop we are gonna open it with a text editor and this is the basic desktop shortcut for Linux we basically need here to tell it that the command is to execute that it's a terminal planet in terminal and I can you can just pick put the path to an icon you have okay so now when we double click markers executable it's gonna start the server and it just closes the window uh in case you want to keep it open you can edit and put here so we're just telling to keep the window open same run again and I think it's already started you know kidding okay let's start again okay so now it's just sitting I like it to rectify it this way because like this you can close the server and you don't need it anymore okay hope you enjoyed
