Hi Folks,

I am new to Indi and Ekos.

I have a laptop running Debian Buster. I installed KStars from the package manager. I couldn't find the eqmod driver which I need to connect to my Skywatcher AZ GTi. I found the other drivers and the eqmod driver was not there.

So I DL'd the source, compiled it, and placed it the directory with the other drivers. Still when I try to configure Ekos, I can't find the eqmod driver.

Is there a config screen or a config file I need to update to let Ekos know the driver is there?

Sounds like you are missing the 3rd party indi drivers.
Follow these instructions for installing the current build. You can choose from the stable release (recommended for beginners). Or the latest nightly build that has all the latest developments, but prone to bugs, generally for users who like to test new features.

I have a Debian machine. That is for an Ubuntu repo. Mixing them is apparently a bad idea (TM).

Specifically the section on Frankendebian.

Then you can consider compiling from source.
