Basic installation

Basic Installation from one of the EMC2 Live CD's is easier and faster than ever. You can also try out EMC2 without installing anything to your hard disk. The EMC2 Live CD are based on Ubuntu 6.06 "Dapper Drake" LTS and Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" LTS with additional packages maintained by the linuxcnc development team.

Note: Do Not upgrade Ubuntu from 6.06 to 8.04 or upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10. The precompiled versions of EMC2 are only compatible with the Ubuntu version they were compiled with. Upgrading will remove the EMC packages and make your system unable to run EMC.

With this configuration, you continue to get all the benefits of Ubuntu, such as security updates and excellent community-based support for the base OS, plus support of the EMC2 components by the EMC2 team. (Ubuntu is the preferred way to use EMC2).

Other methods of installation

Other ways to obtain, compile, and install emc2 are discussed on the community-maintained linuxcnc wiki.

Source code

EMC2 is an open-source project. Currently we keep the source-code in "Git" (a versioning system) at git.linuxcnc.org. You can browse the sources online, using gitweb , or download them (instructions).
