Installation on an external device
If you use Klipper you can also install the Companion plugin on an external device, e.g. a spare Raspberry Pi zero. The plugin will run on this machine and connect over the local network to your printer. This setup can be handy if your printer has e.g. limited CPU performance like the Creality K1/K2 machines.
- Prepare the Raspberry
- Open an SSH connection
- Run
sudo apt-get update
- Install OctoApp
- Run git clone https://github.com/crysxd/OctoApp-Plugin octoapp
- Run cd octoapp
- Run
./install.sh -companion - The installation is now started, follow the prompts on screen
