# dxf2gcode Install Script V4.1 #
#     for Debian based OS       #
#     by Daniel Luginbuehl      #
#          (c) 2026             #
#################################


Enter in the console:


cd ~/Downloads
wget https://raw.github.com/ltspicer/dxf2gcode.linux.installer/main/linux.installer.sh
chmod a+x linux.installer.sh
./linux.installer.sh

or download the file linux.installer.sh, make it executable ( chmod a+x linux.installer.sh ) and start it with: ./linux.installer.sh


Then follow the instructions. The script will install all necessary packages and dxf2gcode automatically.

Python 3.7 or higher is required. This is checked by the script.
pip must be installed. Install with: sudo apt-get install python3-pip

The script is tested on:
Debian 10, 11 & 12 with GNOME & MATE
Xubuntu 22.04 (XFCE), Kubuntu 22.04 (KDE) and Lubuntu 20.04.4 (LXDE)
Raspberry OS/Raspbian, MX Linux
Linux Mint: 20.3 MATE, 21.x Cinnamon, 21.x MATE, 22.x MATE


The installation is ONLY complete when the script "dxf2gcode was successfully installed." spends in red!

Unfortunately is the installation of Python3.7.3 or higher on Debian 9 (Wheezy) almost impossible.
Many LinuxCNC computers have Debian Wheezy :(


Because official dxf2gcode does not run properly under Python 3.10+, the script ask to install a developer version of dxf2gcode.
If desired, the script can download this automatically.


Developer versions on
https://github.com/ltspicer/dxf2gcode
or
https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxf2gcode/files/Development/
The script can download and install this automatically.

Please test it and give me feedback ;)
