0. Check if Inkcut is already installed¶
On a Linux computer, open a terminal window.
Type
If Inkcut starts then it is installed.
Go to step 3.
1. Install Inkcut¶
What are the technical reasons behind this setup?
See my notes for details.
Inkcut is a program to send things to cut to the vinyl cutter. It works under Linux, Mac and Windows. This guide shows how to do this for Linux.
If you could provide these instructions for Mac or Windows, please contribute!
1.1 Start a terminal¶
On a Linux computer, start a terminal:
How does this look like?
- Press the Meta/Windows key (between Ctrl and Alt at the bottom left of the keyboard)
How does this look like?
- Type
terminal
How does this look like?
Now you have started a terminal
How does this look like?
1.2 Install the Debian packages¶
Copy-paste the following command to the terminal:
How do I paste?
Press the right mouse button and click on 'Paste'
Or: use Ctrl-Shift-V
Huh, Ctrl-V does not work for pasting?
Correct, in a Linux terminal, one needs to use Ctrl-Shift-V
How does that look like?
Probably you will need to type a password and press enter.
How does that look like?
Huh? There are no asterisks appearing when I type?
Correct: when typing, no characters such as asterisks appear. This is for security reasons.
You will probably be asked if you want to install these programs. Type 'Y' and press enter.
You will see a lot of programs being installed.
How does that look like?
It will look similar to this:
ums@richel-N141CU:~$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-pyqt5 python3-setuptools

1.3 Create a virtual environment for Inkcut¶
Create a (mandatory!) virtual environment for Inkcut:
If you get the error 'The virtual environment was not created successfully', try:
It gives the error 'The virtual environment was not created successfully'
This is the full errr message:
ums@rikthyvel:~$ python3 -m venv ~/inkcut_venv
The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
available. On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
package using the following command.
apt install python3.12-venv
You may need to use sudo with that command. After installing the python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.
Failing command: /home/ums/inkcut_venv/bin/python3
The solution can be found in the text:
This is how that looks like:
ums@rikthyvel:~$ sudo apt install python3.12-venv

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
python3-netifaces
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
The following additional packages will be installed:
python3-pip-whl python3-setuptools-whl
The following NEW packages will be installed:
python3-pip-whl python3-setuptools-whl python3.12-venv

Need to get 2,424 kB of archives.
After this operation, 2,771 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
After this, try again.
Huh? It says nothing!
Correct! This is 'The Golden Rule of Silence': when everything works, say nothing (over saying 'OK')
How does that look like?

1.4 Install Python packages in the virtual environment¶
Install the Inkcut and PyQt5 Python packages in the virtual environment"
How does that look like?
It will look similar to this:
