+# dxf2gcode Install Script V3.3 #
+#     for Debian based OS       #
+#     by Daniel Luginbuehl      #
+#          (c) 2024             #

+
+Just start in the console with:
+./linux.installer.sh
+or double-click and select "run in terminal". Do not start with sudo in front!
+In Debian, first type "su - root" and run the script there.
+Then follow the instructions. The script will install all necessary packages and dxf2gcode automatically.
+
+Python 3.7 or higher is required. This is checked by the script.
+pip must be installed. Install with: sudo apt-get install python3-pip
+The script is tested on Debian 10, 11 & 12 with GNOME & MATE, Linux Mint 20.3 mate, 21 Cinnamon, 21.1 MATE, 21.3 MATE, Xubuntu 22.04 (XFCE), Kubuntu 22.04 (KDE) and Lubuntu 20.04.4 (LXDE)
+
+The installation is ONLY complete when the script "dxf2gcode was successfully installed." spends in red!
+
+Unfortunately is the installation of Python3.7.3 or higher on Debian 9 (Wheezy) almost impossible.
+Many LinuxCNC computers have Debian Wheezy :(
+
+
+In some cases, the following error appears:
+
+...
+running egg_info
+/home/daniel/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/setuptools/command/egg_info.py:131: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: Invalid version: '2022-05-05'.
+!!
+
+        ********************************************************************************
+        Version '2022-05-05' is not valid according to PEP 440.
+
+        Please make sure to specify a valid version for your package.
+        Also note that future releases of setuptools may halt the build process
+        if an invalid version is given.
+
+        By 2023-Sep-26, you need to update your project and remove deprecated calls
+        or your builds will no longer be supported.
+
+        See https://peps.python.org/pep-0440/ for details.

+  return _normalization.best_effort_version(tagged)
+...
+
+Then you have to downgrade setup tools. Enter in the terminal:
+
+pip install --upgrade --user setuptools==58.3.0
+if not work, then
+pip install setuptools==65 --break-system-packages
+
+Then run the installer again.
+
+
+Because official dxf2gcode does not run properly under Python 3.10+, the script ask to install a developer version of dxf2gcode.
+If desired, the script can download this automatically.
+
+
+Developer versions on
+https://github.com/ltspicer/dxf2gcode
+or
+https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxf2gcode/files/Development/
+The script can download and install this automatically.
