Can't Install Octodash

[dgbcoleman]

Hi there,
I am trying to install octodash and it keeps saying that I need to install the newest version of python even though I have. Here is my command prompt:

pi@octopi:~ $ wget -qO- https://github.com/UnchartedBull/OctoDash/raw/master/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- --ptg

I tried installing it manually but when I booted the pi it said no screens found. I have installed my touchscreen driver already so I don't know what the problem is.

I for got to say that I am using this lcd: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/5inch_HDMI_LCD

Ok, I was able to get it to work by installing the desktop environment for octoprint and saying no when it asked to auto start on startup. Octodash is working but the bootup time is really slow, is this normal?

[UnchartedBull]

Great that you got this working. What do you mean by long boot time? On my Pi 3B+ it takes approx. 10-15 seconds after Raspbian booted for everything to be ready.

[dgbcoleman]

By a long time I mean that from the time that I plug in the pi to the time it starts displaying the main screen of octodash, it is about a full 60 seconds.

[UnchartedBull]

60 seconds is long, but not unusually long. Mine takes 30-40 seconds, but I do have a fast SD card. If you have a slow SD Card 60 seconds might just be normal.

Closing this issue since the installation worked. If you have any more questions let me know.

I ran this command before installing the .deb package and it was fixed
sudo apt install desktop-file-utils
