If you look at the script:

> <https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/scripts/install-octopi.sh>

It installs Klipper on an rPi which has Octopi running on it - if you read through it, you’ll see that the script itself uses resources that Octopi loaded in for its use (ie Python 2.7).

@pigaro

If you look at the Klipper master scripts repository:

> **[klipper/scripts at master · Klipper3d/klipper](https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/tree/master/scripts)**
>
> Klipper is a 3d-printer firmware. Contribute to Klipper3d/klipper development by creating an account on GitHub.

You’ll see that the last time there was updates made to `install-octopi.sh` was four years ago (by Kevin). Since then (actually just less than four years ago) Klipper migration to Python 3.\* started: [Upcoming v0.10.0 Release](https://klipper.discourse.group/t/upcoming-v0-10-0-release/791)

Based on these dates and the fact that you seem to be the first person who has issue with `install-octopi.sh` that I can find, I don’t think it’s a viable method for installing Klipper with Octopi.

As I am writing this post, I see that @EddyMI3D has provided you with a basic installation and connection workflow for using Octopi with Klipper.

This will undoubtedly be the most expedient way for you to get the two software packages working together.
