I have a Raspberry Pi with Octoprint installed. I also have the plugin Firmware Updater installed, but I don't know how to install avrdude on the Raspberry. Can anyone help me?
This should in theory do the trick:
sudo apt-get install -y avrdude
The problem is how i enter those commands. I couldn't find where to enter the commands on http://octopi.local
You'll need to remote into the Raspberry Pi.
If you have macOS, it's ssh pi@octopi.local and if you have Windows then you'd use PuTTY instead. The default password is raspberry.
What should i put on host name or IP address? Using octopi.local or pi@octopi.local results in "host doesn't exist" message.
Given that you haven't told me whether you have Windows or macOS, I'll guess that you have Windows since it's complaining about the hostname that it can't lookup.
For hostname use the IP address. For username use pi.
Sorry! I am using Windows. Thanks a lot! It worked.
I have the same issue regarding install of avrdude, I am not a programer, what is PuTTY?
Adafruit usually has good noob examples for things and this page tells you a bit about avrdude. Keep in mind that they're targeting a particular product so the actual command line would be different in your case.
And here is the one which talks about the IDE.
PuTTY is the Windows version of ssh (for remoting into the Pi in this case).
