This works great on the OrangePi as well all you have to do is change pi to orangepi and that worked for me!

Hello all - I'm fairly new to Raspberry Pi's, Linux, and Python, and was trying to set up OctoPrint when I ran into some issues. Everything was going smoothly up until pip install octoprint.
The download/installation was going swimmingly until it hit Babel (v. 2.12.1):

It seems that the hashes don't match. Is this due to some sort of mismatched version? I can't figure it out. Hoping for a pro to help me out, and in the mean time I'm going to try and persuade ChatGPT to work it out 
That means something is wrong with the downloaded file.
Could be a transmission error or a failing SD card.
Delete it and try again
pinkrose@raspberrypi:~ $ /etc/systemd/system/octoprint.service
bash: /etc/systemd/system/octoprint.service: Permission denied
I've tried many different variations trying to give myself permission.
I can't get it. I'm the only user. Why can't I get to admin status?
The comment you've quoted is literally just typing in the file path, this will not do anything as it is not an executable command. To edit a file, you'd have to open a file editor such as nano with sudo nano /etc/.... You can't just type the file path in the console and expect it to know what to do with it.
Do you plan to append this tutorial with the installation of the new camera stack? It's a bit of a nightmare to install and I am stuck.
I have installed octoprint on a fresh install of Raspbian bookworm, everything works fine until you want to use the new stack instead of the old school mjpeg. I have installed the camera-streamer plugin, then the camera-streamer.deb but rip-camera still not working. It is extremely frustrating to not find all the needed information in one place.
It will probably be added when it becomes mainline in OctoPi. There's still a few issues with camera-streamer we were seeing (I'm not fully up to date with the status) that meant it has not become the default yet.
You should be able to use the instructions from ayufan/camera-streamer (github.com), using the precompiled deb from there. Instructions would not be "specific" to installing OctoPrint, it would be almost a copy of what's on there (or maybe a link, so this didn't become outdated).
If you're having issues getting it installed, open your own topic with as much detail as you can, so we can try and help you.
Nothing is working, I have lost 2 days trying to get it working with no luck. The instructions are evasive at best or they require dependencies not mentioned anywhere, it is a mess. I followed everything to the T and nothing works.
I am now trying to use Octopi stable from the official Raspberry imager but can't get the wifi nor the HDMI display to work... It's a massive waste of time. I think I will end up going back to the Raspbian and follow the above instruction including the webcam tricks for the rpi-cam.
IMO, it's time to abandon camera-streamer and find something / someone who is more responsive to fixing issues.
This is not the right place for this discussion, but camera-streamer is the easiest way to get an RPi Cam v3 up and running. The “new stack” project got far more complex with removing the hardware encoder on the RPi 5. Find a better project, and propose it in its own topic.

My camera autostart didn't work. I did this:
cd
nano scripts/mjpg-streamer.sh
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/octoprint/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.
./mjpg_streamer -i "./input_uvc.so" -o "./output_http.so"
sudo chmod +x /home/octoprint/scripts/mjpg-streamer.sh
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
You need to place the command to run the script before the exit 0 line:
home/octoprint/scripts/mjpg-streamer.sh
Thank you for the comprehensive walk-through!
Just wondering if it is possible for us to setup the new camera stack on PiOS. Would you be able to provide instructions for doing so?
Thanks again!
So I have been trying to set up OctoPrint on my new Raspberry Pi 5 running RaspberryPi OS Lite and everything installed fine, virtual environment activates okay but when I try and start it up using the "~/OctoPrint/venv/bin/octoprint serve" command through SSH it throws an uncaught exception

I have googled the error and apparently its due to the "fixed-window-elastic-expiry" being deprecated within the limits library but everything is up to date with the most recent version of everything.
I am running Python3 version 3.11.2.
Have you used OctoPrint deploy?
I tried deploy initially but had no luck with it either so decided to just try this install instead
i'd do it if I could but don't think have the trust level...
Suggest an edit to bump the python versions listed at the beginning, or list that 3.7 and 3.8 are deprecated, will not be supported in the next version of this fine software
