Getting it all together Installation from start - Prutsium/3D-Druckerplausch-Klipper GitHub Wiki

So ... you are ready to rock and roll ... then first think how you want to install as there are a few options possible. The most easy one is to use an pre-made image from Fluidd or Mainsail or if you have more experience you can start with a clean Raspian Image (lite preferred). Although its possible to add this all to your current Octoprint installation we will not cover this as we prefer clean install / ready image.

If you plan to use Octoprint in a later stage (it can run next to Fluid or Mainsail) then this is a good moment to make a backup of your Octoprint. Keep in mind with Fluidd or Mainsail working on the Terminal so execute certain commands works much easier.

The difference between Mainsail & Fluidd is pure cosmetic as both share almost the same functions and if you decided fror one it's always possible to test the other as both are available as an webapp so no install is then required. We will provide mostly screenshots based on Fluidd as we all use Fluidd.

Option one: Use a premade image from Fluidd or Mainsail We wont go trough the step by step of both of them as the makers made a very good guide for this.

If you have installed this image and you see the SSH terminal you would be ready for the next step by following the next guide: Upgrading the M32U USB chip in your Prusa Mainboard (This must be done as it otherwise cant handle the higher (required) communication speed. The guide can be found at this link here

After these steps com back to this guide.
