HI
Im trying to insall octoprint on windows 10. Im using python 2.7.15 and when I try to install the octoprint via this line:
pip install http://get.octoprint.org/latest
I`m getting an error: Error 42:
"1% |could not install package due to an EnvironmentError: [Error 42] Illigal byte sequence"
how can I solve this error and install octoprint on my PC??
thanks!
If I install it on my PC, I can use my built in webcam correct?
Also, as a preventative "computer can reboot" kinda thing, can I still print from my SD card directly to the printer and just use octoprint to monitor it?
I could use some help I already tried googling it and couldn't find anything.... my octoprint runs on my windows PC and I am using yawcam to control my webcams that can both out put in 1080. I would love to render octolapse videos in higher resolution but as far as I can tell you have to edit the octopi.txt file which the windows version of octoprint doesnt seem to have. Anyone have any ideas?
OctoPi camera initialization is normally done through octopi.txt. Windows camera initialization is different.
OctoPrint uses the camera in both OctoPi and Windows through the stream and snapshot URLs. The camera resolution and other parameters were handled at initialization.
I have install successfully python in 32 bit and running well. I made sure to include pip in the installation.
hi. i'm new in this matter , any idea what to do or what i do it wrong when installing from here : checking the API key... but never finishing.
. i change it the address from 80 to 3344 but not working. the octoprint said is connected with printer but i can't connect with cura 4.3 version. thanks.OctoPrint normally doesn't run on port 3344. It runs on port 5000 and with the help of haproxy, it also is seen on port 80, the default.
Also, keep this to one thread please. You've already asked this somewhere else on here.
i try it with 80 too and not working. of course i asked ,where i saw that is about this problem.what else to do? and how to try with port 5000 and haproxy? a step by step guide ? something somewhere is missing and can't be connected together.
Setting up OctoPrint on Windows
You're on the step-by-step guide here. Start from the first post.
THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED .
fieldOfView helped me. thanks.
Did my download and install on win10, python 3.7, running it in admin powershell.
I go to localhost:5000 and it just spins and say "Loading Octoprint's UI, please wait..."
you need python 2 - unless you want to test the latest dev rc
Only 27 days until Python 2 goes to Sunset mode.
Python 3 has been out for 11 years.
I'm a software developer and having Python 2 on my machines causes a lot of complication in terms of path and environment management for my commercial work.
well yes but it doesn't suddenly stop working.
@foosel is working on 1.4.0 which supports python 3. The second rc is out now and as I said you're free to test it 
I did this and it works so far, but now i want to update my marlin version. Every tutorial i found assumes you are running octoprint on a Pi. Using the plugin Firmware Updater i need to select the path to avrdude, but it doesn't work with the directory where i installed avrdude... can anyone help?
I followed the instructions exactly, after start I get an error - octoprint.startup - crytical - Could not initialize plugin mansger: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc0 in position64: ordinal not in range(128)
Providing the octoprint.log would allow others to help you. The 0xc0 character is À for what it's worth. It's possible that this appears somewhere that's not expected, perhaps in a filename on your SD card or in your uploads to OctoPrint.
