FlatCAM BETA (c) 2019 - by Marius Stanciu Based on FlatCAM: 2D Computer-Aided PCB Manufacturing by (c) 2014-2016 Juan Pablo Caram

FlatCAM is a program for preparing CNC jobs for making PCBs on a CNC router. Among other things, it can take a Gerber file generated by your favorite PCB CAD program, and create G-Code for Isolation routing.

=====================================================================

-------------------------- Installation instructions ----------------

Works with Python version 3.5 or greater and PyQt5. More on the YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVvP2SYRpx-AQgNlfoxw93tXUXon7G94_

You can contact me on my email address found in the app in: Menu -> Help -> About FlatCAM -> Programmers -> Marius Stanciu

1.Windows

or from sources:

pip -V

You can download all the required wheels files into a folder (e.g D:\my_folder) and install them from Command Prompt like this:

cd D:\my_folder

and for each wheel file (*.whl) run:

D:\my_folder\> pip install --upgrade package_from_requirements.whl

Run FlatCAM beta from the installation folder (e.g D:\FlatCAM_beta) in the Command Prompt with the following command: cd D:\FlatCAM_beta python FlatCAM.py

2.Linux

  • make sure that Python 3.8 is installed on your OS and that the command: python3 -V confirm it
  • verify that the pip package is installed for your Python installation (e.g 3.8) by running the command:
pip3 -V

If it is not installed, install it. In Ubuntu-like OS's it is done like this:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip 

or:

sudo apt-get install python3.8-pip
  • verify that the file setup_ubuntu.sh has Linux line-endings (LF) and that it is executable (chmod +x setup_ubuntu.sh)
  • run the file setup_ubuntu.sh and install all the dependencies with the command:
./setup_ubuntu.sh
  • if the previous command is successful and has no errors, run FlatCAM with the command: python3 FlatCAM.py

  • Alternatively you can install it on Ubuntu with:

# Optional if depencencies are missing
make install_dependencies

# Install for the current user only (using the folder in its place)
make install

# System-wide instalation
sudo make install

3.MacOS
