Install Octoprint on Linux - Complete Guide!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มี.ค. 2022
- Many of you guys have asked about options to run Octoprint without having to have a dedicated device for it, or use the OctoPi image, so I figured I would make a video with another option. In this video, I cover the process to install Octoprint on a Linux OS from start to finish. Doing this will allow you to use the device for Octoprint when you want but gives the option to use it for other purposes as well (like retro gaming on a Raspberry Pi).
If you have any questions about the content covered in this video, feel free to leave a comment below with them. I try to reply to all comments within 48 hours.

I hope you found this overview helpful! If you have any questions or would like other tips/tricks, just let me know in the comments.
thank you for making such good videos i really appreciate your presence in the community
My pleasure!
This was an excellent tutorial. The instructions on the website are a real bonus. Thank you so much for your time and effort!
Hi. Thanks for the feedback :).
Awesome! I've been scraping together info from all over and making a mess of it! You're the best!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the video! It was quite a search to find how to use octoprint without dedicating my entire rpi4, also my temporary workstation on the go, for just this function.
You’re Welcome
This is brilliant, perfect timing aswell. I was suprised when i looked at the view count :) high quality instructions but i presume the all in one script wont be coming
Hi. Thanks for the feedback. This video is new and my channel is still growing, so views tend to be hit or miss depending on interest. I have had a couple people ask for the script so far, so it may still be an option.
@@3DPrintscape no problem. I have been on-off trying to get octoprint to work on my old linux laptop for some weeks. But today when I found this video it somehow just worked. You are amazing and I want to thank you for the effort you put in your videos. And for the script i truly belive it would really help alot of people.
Hello, i used Mint Debian Edition and your guide worked flawlessly! Thanks!
Great to hear!
Watched the video a couple times and followed your website to install. Super easy for a non-IT guy.
Glad to help

I just wanted to add that there is currently in development of OCTO-PC made by Nuclear Foods which is a pre-compiled version of Antix that has octoprint pre-installed. I highly recommend users take a look as the initial installation is like a script, no coding was required. Flash the ISO and straight booting into Octoprint.
Hi. Thanks for the info.
Thank you for this. Linux world really needs to fix this nonsense of having to learn rocket science just to install a damn app. I am not sure WTF is wrong with these people.
EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. I was just looking up my IP via Windows properties, I think it was giving me my router IP. Instead, I typed in "ip a" into Ubuntu and found my IP there. Once I did that the OctoPrint installer started right up! 👌
==============================================
Rob, thanks so much for this. It is helping a Linux newbie like myself tremendously.
I’m running into an issue when I’m trying to test the Octoprint install. I have Ubuntu running inside Windows 11 and when I put in “~/OctoPrint/venv/bin/octoprint serve” it does its thing no problem. Though when I open Chrome and put in my ip with :5000 it returns with a blank screen saying “ERR_Connection_Refused” “(my IP) refused to connect."
Anyone have any thoughts on how to proceed? Thanks!
Hi. Sorry for the delayed response, this was held for review for some reason. Im glad you got it working.
Great video and guide. Did you get the script written yet? I have a friend that wants to try this that is not too technical.
Hi. Thanks for the feedback. I havent been able to write the script yet.
thanks! much appreciated!
You're welcome
Great video. I plan to use your expertise. I have a question. What is the hostname you used? I'm currently using a octoprint image and it's host name is octopi. Do I need to change my linux hostname to octopi and remove my pi board from my network?
Thanks in advance!!
Hi. You could rename it to octopi or just connect to it with the ip address.
thank you for the guide!
I do have a question - I am trying to install it on a Linux Mint VM and during the Auto Start section I am getting an error "update-rc.d: error: octoprint Default-Start contains no runlevels, aborting.". After I try to start the service I get another error.
Any idea as to what could be happening?
Hi. I think this is the issue you are running into. serverfault.com/questions/849507/systemctl-doesnt-recognize-my-service-default-start-contains-no-runlevels-abo
Few things to point out for newbs to linux and raspberries like me (well ok, I ran unix like 30 years ago) and some problems I ran into:
1: Your video device might not be /dev/video0. Mine was video1, as the printer is video0. Took a while to figure this one out. I don't know if there's a way to specify the camera simply by usb Id? Hopefully the Ids don't change when the raspberry reboots. Is /dev/videoX based on the physical port?
2: Run the mpg_streamer from a command line to make sure it runs properly and you get your configuration options the way you want.
3: Only then set up your daemon and service, making sure you copy your parameters into the file to match what you want in step 3.
Hi. Thanks for sharing this.
Wow, thanks for this content. The video and written instructions are the best I've come across on this topic. Question, and not sure if you'd know why but in Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04, Octoprint will not connect to my Ender 3 V2, even though you can see the printer listed when running the lsusb command. I've added my user to both tty and dialout groups, rebooted, but it just won't connect. If I take the same computer, same cable, same printer, and install Fedora, everything works fine. Can't figure out what it is about Ubuntu that is preventing the printer connection in Octoprint correctly. Any suggestions?
Hi. Thanks for the feedback. That is interesting, my guess is it would have something to do with the drivers but without being hands on to troubleshoot i cant say for sure.
Awesome video :) can almost get it to work :) if my default user is orangepi, can i just change where you write pi to orange pi?
Hi. Assuming you have the right permissions that should work. Also, look to see where else /pi is used, you may have to update some paths as well.
thanks :) newer tryed ubuntu before :) so a step learning curve :) but im learning what not to do =D now i got a pi user :) hope it works this time =D
Hi Rob. Very detailed and well explained guide, much appreciated. I installed Ubuntu 22.04 on an old laptop and I have OctoPrint running perfect except for my camera. I do not get the stream in Octoprint or through a web browser and when I test the Path to FFMPEG- /usr/bin/ffmpeg it comes back as "The path doesn't exist". What may I have done wrong?
Hi. Are you trying to connect with the ip or dns name??
thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Hey I was following your video and I got to the part where you set up the automatic start, however mine does not seem to be working, I can not manually start it either, using the code "sudo service octoprint start" results in job for octoprint failed because the control process exited with error code. How do I fix this?
Hi. It sounds like one of the previous commands may have failed to run properly. Did you get any errors or notifications at all?
Hello, thank you very much for the very good instructions. Everything is working well so far. However, the GPIOs are not recognized in Octoprint. Is there a solution here?
Hi. There seems to be a lot of bugs in general related to this. One forum is saying the pi 3 usb port housing was at 5 volts so he swapped it out with a pi 4 and it worked. This may be a decent starting point. community.octoprint.org/t/serial-connection-over-gpio-pins-wont-function/32728/8
This was super helpful. Thank you! Now I don't have to dedicate my Plex/NAS Pi to Octoprint.
For some reason the webcam URL does not work but if I use the Pi's local IP it works. How do I get the web cam working so I can view it remotely and securely?
Hi. I have only been able to get it working with using the ip or url, it wont work with a port at the end. I will look into remote options when i get a min.
Hi! Thank you for such an informative video. This is by far the most detailed explanation I've come across and I would like to thank you for your effort! There are a couple of things that did not work out for me though and I wonder if you have the answer:
I tried following the instructions on my old laptop running ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I was able to get the server online but it never worked when it came to connecting to the printer via USB. The printer is Creality Ender 3 and I have no problem controlling the motion of the axes using Cura. An error message always popped up saying "permission denied", even after I added the pi user to the serial port.
Another problem was with the webcam stream. A message saying "Webcam stream not loaded" always appears and I don't know why. This was a minor issue thought since I never really needed to stream the footage. I was just baffled as to what went wrong.
Hi. Ive seen some random issues with streaming and ubuntu, i think it has something to do with the libjpeg it uses. Did the libjpeg62 install work correctly? The permission denied is typically due to something else having a lock on the port/bus, try to reboot.
@@3DPrintscape Hello I am currently on the step "Build mjpg-streamer" but it is unable to locate package libjpeg62-turbo-dev. what should I do?
See if there is an alternate package for the distro your using. @@ccole8686
Hey big guy, I have just found out that if you print a model via octoprint it can vary in quality from one that was printed via the SD card. This was due to the cable connecting the Pi to the printer not being of a high enough standard. Have you come across this? I have lots of micro USB cables, collected over the years, you probably do too. Is there a way to find out which one carries data better?
Hi. I have not personally experienced this. For me the cable with worked or it didnt, i have a lot of charging only cables that wont work for data.
@@3DPrintscape thanks Robert
Your videos are awesome Keep up the great work!
only had two issue while following your guild and figured I'd post them here with my resolutions incase someone else runs into them as well!
1. Initially I was having big issues installing my Linux distro on to this little laptop I picked up from micro center. Long story short Linux DOES NOT like emmc storage devices for bootable installs or at least I could not get it to work. Istalled a cheap NVME hard drive and everything worked awesome from there.
2. Was having issues getting the webcam stream to work initially and it came down to improper install of the ffmpeg. So after a re install fo that software everything is working as expected!
I did have one question that I can't seem to find answer to so figured id ask to see if any one knows.
Since this is installed on a laptop that has an integrated webcam (terrible video quality), I would like to use a higher quality USB camera (for octolapse) that I have laying around, but I cant get the Webcam steam/Daemon to utilize this device? Is there a way to specify devices?
Any help would be appreciated for sure!
Hi. Thanks for the feedback and sharing your findings. I dont have an extra laptop with a webcam (my new one didnt even come with a webcam) to test but maybe some else in the community does.
I have an upgraded Mac Mini Mid 2007, I could install Linux MX in here. Do you think I can use Octoprint in this computer?
Hi. From a spec standpoint i think the mac mini will be fine. I havent used MX so there may be some small differences but i think it should work.
I know it's a year after upload so probably won't get a reply but it's worth a shot. So i'm a complete linux noob and I've just setup octoprint on my dell wyse 3040 following your tutorial and everything works fine. Except for the camera. I'm using a generic webcam and it seems like the code you have written is for a pi cam, is there any way for me to get a webcam working through linux on octoprint?
edit: I went back over the code and in the webcamDaemon file I deleted the start raspicam section and now it works! Thank you for making the video would never have got this far without it :)
Hi. Im gad you got it working :)
Can this method be used for 2 printers and 2 webcams on one raspberry pi? Sorry if that was covered in the video and I missed it.
Hi. You would need to setup multiple instances, similar to this video. th-cam.com/video/GEgukBiLnmM/w-d-xo.html
Is there a way to increase the resolution of the picture displayed in Octoprint if your camera can handle higher resolutions?
Hi. Honestly, im not sure. I will try to look into that more when i get some time.
Just wondering if this will work on Orange Pi PC running Armbian? Or do I need to run octoprint inside a docker?
Hi. That goes outside the scope of this video, but i think you would be able to get it to work.
It would be an absolute treasure to have a script!
Hi. Im starting to get more and more requests for it, so i may end up writing it.
Install octoprint on an odroid xu4 with ubuntu mate and everything works except the camera, when installing the libjpeg62-turbo-dev package it says package not found and I guess that's the problem.
Any idea how to install that package?
Hi. Is the libjpeg8 library there?
@@3DPrintscape Yes
@@marugapa238 Ok, the OS is running an older runtime environment from what I read on it. I don't have a good answer on how to fix that at this point, I will need to install/test when I get some time.
@@3DPrintscape Thanks, I'll keep looking too
Any luck? I'm stuck trying to get the same file to update\install to no luck on my XU4. Everything else is working well though so thats nice.
Steps worked great for me and thanks for including camera scripts. The only issue I have is octoprint defaults to my built in camera over the external USB connected webcam. Any idea how to disable the built in camera so it always uses the USB connected webcam?
Hi. Im not sure off hand. What type of built in camera is it?
@@3DPrintscape thanks for response. I should have mentioned i converted old lenovo E520 laptop to linux and its the onboard camera that usually starts for me. Not sure the exact model. I have a logitech 720p connected to usb that I want to always show.
@@rkcbvw Gotit, i will need to look into that one. Im not sure how to do it offhand.
Did you find a solution to this? I'm having the same issue.
@@3DPrintscape having the same issue
Hi，my octoprint is have trouble connecting to printer via USB，I think maybe is because it didnt show up as ttymac0 port？do you have any idea how i can fix it？
Hi. Can you confirm that the usb cable you are using is meant for data and not just charging?
@@3DPrintscape thanks for the reply。 and yes the USB connection is working fine because i checked by using command line lsusb，everything show up correct。
Hello,
I installed Octoprint on a laptop with MX Linux and it runs, but I have to start it manually. I can live with that, but if I could get it to auto start and get the camera working, I would rather do that. Are you using a Raspberry Pi or a desktop? I am new to Linux and just trying to learn it.
Hi. It sounds like the daemon may not be setup and running right.
Also if you are using a different user other than Pi you may have to go into the service and edit it. Sometimes there is an issue with the ExecStart defaulting back to Pi. At least that is what happened to me. In Terminal run
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/octoprint.service
and manually change it to be ExecStart=/home/USER/OctoPrint/venv/bin/octoprint
Where the USER is the user you are using. Sorry I'm a little late to the party.
Oh and the user too... You will notice an issue with plugins if you don't change the user.
Would love a script! But if there is an option to allow us to change the username that would be good otherwise we can just modify the script. My question is that I already have a user on my Linux box that I use for klipper. Can I run this simultaneously along with klipper on the same user? I have 3 speciality printers that I cant get klipper on but I need the remote access function so I'm settling for octoprint. But I only have one server for my printers.
Hi. I think there are some things built into octoprint that require the name to be pi, but i cant say for sure. Changing the username for them should be simple if thats not the case. I think you can run this along with klipper but i havent tried. As long as its not trying to use the same ports, it should work.
If I mess up at any point do I have to start over again or how does that work cuz I think I did something wrong. So I guess I'm asking how do I know if I did it correctly or not??
Hi. Most of the commands can be reran without an issue. At the end, you should have the service running, if its not something went wrong. Also, keep an eye on what gets returned after each command. If there are errors you will want to fix them there.
@@3DPrintscape thank you dude
Hello, first of all thanks for the video:)
Do you have any clue about some problems on the step "pip install octoprint"
When I try to run this command, it returns me some error saying that it "failed to build wheel for psutil" and I can't continue...
I tried everything from reinstalling all from zero, updating pip, installing psutil, installing wheel, nothing seems to work.
FYI I'm using a Orange Pi 3 Lts running Ubuntu focal
Thanks in advance 👍
Hi, Do you have python installed. Should be something similar to sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev to install it (version may be different). This article talks about it more. stackoverflow.com/questions/48154968/failed-building-wheel-for-psutil
Hi, I'm getting an error on the command to set octoprint to automatically start and it says, Failed to enable unit: Unit file octoprint.service does not exist.
I'm not really into IT but the link in the command leads to a 404 so I don't know if that's that problem or if that's something else that's not really related.
Hi. It sounds like there was an issue that came up before this step but around creating the octoprint.service. Did you get any other errors or warning?
@@3DPrintscape No, I just came back to this today because I've been manually starting it through a secure shell. Is there a line of code I can run to create the octoprint.service that would help me with automatically starting octoprint?
@@3DPrintscape It also shows the 404 error so I don't know if it's just a problem with the github link?2
@@robloxbattlebots3573 You are correct, it looks like they made some pretty big changes. Try running pip install OctoPrint
@@3DPrintscape The pip install doesn't change anything, should I create my own file leading to the same directory where octoprint.service should be so that I don't run into the error saying it doesn't exist?
Hello my friends .i have a question .i have install the octoprint server under raspberry pi os for computers. its works great but my problem is i can not install plugins . he sayed ´´ Could not import OctoPrint's setuptools, are you sure you are running that under the same python installation that OctoPrint is installed under?´´
can one of this guys help me ?
Hi. Can you send the exact error and the text around it?
If you are having problems getting printer to detect, regardless baud/port/timeout settings you change, removing brltty with "sudo apt remove brltty" instantly fixed my problem with ender 3/s1. It was interfering with connection.
Hi. Thats interesting, thanks for sharing.
I got to the step to have OctoPrint start automatically and when I go to check the status all it says is "Failed to start OctoPrint.service: Unit OctoPrint.service not found." What is going wrong here?
Hi. It sounds like the command to copy the service file failed. Its also possible other tasks failed before that which caused this. When running the commands, make sure everything succeeds before moving on.
Hello Rob, I have been enjoying your content and I wanted to share a technical issue I have encountered. The camera streams for only a few seconds before it displays a black screen. Sometimes, if I switch tabs on OctoPrint, it starts working again for a few seconds.
Could you please assist me in resolving this issue? I would be grateful for any support you can provide.
Thank you for your time and efforts.

@@jesus_hdz_garcia Ah ok, its possible there is some compatibility issues with the plugins your running for home assist and octoprint.

Hi. Are you getting any feedback at all from the OS?
@@3DPrintscape i created the files myself and copied over the content, thanks for replyin
@@PurpleGPZ Can you manually start the app?
@@3DPrintscape its cool, it starts automaticaly, but i cant find a work around to get the webcam steam working.
have you done a recent install with whats available today?
@@PurpleGPZ I havent tested this since march, but it was working then.
I cannot get the webcam to auto-restart after a system reboot. I can get it working again via ssh by launching this command from the proper directory:
./mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -r 1920x1080" -o "output_http.so" &
Any idea how to get this to auto-restart without going into ssh each time I reboot?
Hi. It sounds like something wasnt setup right with the daemon but if it works with that command you could always setup a cron job to auto run it.
THANK YOU!! This was fantastic! I ran into a few things (mostly from me mucking around with everything). One thing though was I had to set the URL for the webcam to :8080/?action=stream
Other than that though I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful tutorial!
Hi. Thanks for the feedback and sharing your findings.
