Can't find install file for ReplicatorG - Sailfish

[Paul Vandervoort]

It doesn't seem to exist on

http://replicat.org/

I found the files to be installed here:

http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:32084/#files

(replicatorg-0040r22-windows.zip)

but I can't find an install file.

Also, I can't uninstall ReplicatorG.  When I open the Windows 7 Uninstall window (Control Panel > Programs and Features), ReplicatorG doesn't appear.  I can't find an uninstall program in any of the RepG folders, or in the program itself.

There is no install. It runs from the unzipped folder. Nor is there an uninstall-delete the folder.

BUT, you need to follow the directions as there are equired applications that DO need to be installed so that is actually runs.

Sorry, tried to find better instructions but here is better than nothing in this thread

Below is the relavant portion of sourcing and installing/unzipping pypy but you also need to install regular version 2.7 of Python. Do NOT think you are doing a good thing and install the latest version, only use the 2.7 version.

So you end up with 2 python interpreters

Python 27

and

Pypy

 

It incorporates my take on Kobus' strategy to run PyPy just for slicing
and Python for profile editing and anything else. You can get a Windows
PyPy distro from

http://pypy.org/download.html

I used

https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/downloads/pypy-1.9-win32.zip

which you can use on Win 7 x64 (I did).

Then from the "Advanced" tab of the "Preferences" window, you can click the
"Set PyPy Interpreter…" button. Then navigate to the installed PyPy and select
the pypy.exe file. Then click the not-well-named-for-this-usage "Open" button.
Then you're set: when you slice, PyPy should be used. (You can see it in
Task Manager.)

Note you still need Python installed. And it needs to be a 2.x version.
I used 2.7 for Windows x64. Do not use 3.x as it won't work for you:
the Tkinter module was changed to be named "tkinter". (Presumably, there
were interface changes.) SF-50 expects a module named "Tkinter" and so
you need Pythin 2.x for SF-50.

Thanks again to Kobus du Toit.

Without an uninstall, how do you remove it from your system completely so you can start over with all files in their original state? I really want to start over with RepG but I am unsure if I've altered things that shouldn't be altered in the slicers especially.

[Clinton Hoines]

It never installs so there is nothing to uninstall with RepG.

[billyd60]

Subsequent reloads of the software already know things about my setup that it shouldn't. So it's leaving garbage behind even after deleting the folder.

User folder- "replicatorg"

So on a win7 box, users/youraccount/ replicatorg
