Hi guys, fairly new owner here and I'm looking for advice. I've followed the install instructions for the raspberry pi to the letter but I'm no coder lol ! far from it, too old for that stuff.
I got to this part "

Step 3: Authorize the client software

From the command line, run this command: bumblebee"


and that's where i fell off the horse and ive been down here now for around four hours.

Any tips on getting this thing up and running? oh yeah its connected to my ctc creator (cloned flashforge printer) cracking print quality btw.

the instructions up to that point are perfect but i know its going to be such a simple answer but i think after four hours i just cant see the trees for the woods.


many thanks 

                   Keith.

Hmm. Those documents need to be updated. Have you created an account at botqueue.com? If you run the command 'bumblebee' (without quotes), what happens? When viewing the main page of the website, you should see a request to accept or deny a client request.

I've created the account but when I run the bumblebee command I get command unknown, like I said in the first post I did follow everything on the help page I don't see the pi trying to connect to the page as expected.

I know I'm so close to it running, that's the frustrating part.

Ah, okay. Hmm. What happens when you run "pip install bqclient"?

It started to download then last line is
Error could not create "user/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bumblebee" : permission denied
Thanks for the help thus far.
