Dear sir,

After installing the indilib it say's SVN Command not found.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ mkdir ~/Projects
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/pi/Projects’: File exists
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd ~/Projects
pi@raspberrypi:~/Projects $ svn co svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/indi/code/trunk/
bash: svn: command not found
pi@raspberrypi:~/Projects $ scrot
pi@raspberrypi:~/Projects $

And When I tried downloading from the tutorialpage I did give this after the TAR command

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tar -xzf libindi_1.2.0_rpi.tar.gz
tar (child): libindi_1.2.0_rpi.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Could you help me?
Thanks

Hello.

I'm not sure to understand which procedure you're following, but to install svn you coud use apt-get command.
Type in "sudo apt-get install subversion" on prompt to install subversion, then the svn command should work.

For tar command are sure to be in the correct folder to extract the data? As the message show file not found I could expect not. Your print screen show your start the tar command from your home directory (~ $). Is your downloaded package in "Download" folder? if yes, first change the directory by the "cd" command (cd ~/Download) and then try to uncompress the file with your tar command.

If you want to compile yourself the Indi server and drivers, follow this link step by step and it should be success.

It was always OK for me in RPI B+ and RPI2

Good luck.

Dear Philipe,
Thank you for the answers. After "sudo apt-get install subversion" it indeed carried out the next command without poblems. But then, after copy paste the next step, it says This:
~ $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ~/Projects/trunk/libindi
-bash: cmake: command not found :(
I am using Jessie with Raspberry 3
I 'll now try the UBUNTU-mate maybe that gives less problems.

Dear René.

Did you install Jessie light version?. For me with Jessie "standard" and RPI2 it works without any issue. I don't thinks so this is related to the RP3!

Anyway it looks you don't have the build-essential installed (compiler, linker and other development tools) on your Raspberry. Please try to install it with "sudo apt-get install build-essential" and try again.

You do not need to compile INDI! Just installed the ready-built Debian packages that I linked before. Just download, extract the .tar.gz file, and then run sudo dpkg -i *.deb inside the directory, that's all. If you use Ubuntu on the Raspberry PI, then just add my PPA and get INDI and any 3rd party driver via sudo apt-get install

I now have installed indilib on the pi with ubuntu mate on it. Now make connection with Ekos in Kstars on my desktop. But I cannot find yet the IP adres and port of the PI. Once that is solved I hope to connect the ZWO asi cam and the LX200 of the telescope in the garden dome ( C9,25 on Losmandy G11 mount with FS2 )
Thanks for the helping advices,
Rene :)

ifconfig returns the IP address. Port is always 7624 unless you change it to something else.

Hi!

Sorry if that has been asked before ...

... I was wondering what happens if EKOS and RPi loose connection. Will the INDI server continue without receiving commands from the Ekos client? Or must there be an active connection between the two all the time?

Thanks and clear skies!

There must be an active connection all the time in order to command the devices. If Ekos is disconnected from the RPi, the INDI server will continue running but will not take any action.
