just got emc2 going. how do i start the stepconf program?

If you are using Ubuntu based distribution, in the menu bar top left hand corner you will see "Applications " drop down label.
Click on "Applications", find "CNC" sub menu in which you will find "EMC2", "EMC2 G-Code Quick Refference", "EMC2 Integrator manual",
"EMC2 Stepconf Wizard" and "EMC2 User Manual"Answer from Zig in another thread here on the zone.

when i click on the cnc menu, i get "EMC2", "EMC2 G-Code Quick Refference", "EMC2 Integrator manual",and "EMC2 User Manual" .no stepconf ? I booted directlty off the emc2 cd.

What version/release of emc2? If unsure launch from a terminal by typing "emc".

edit/ Try "which stepconf" in a terminal. If it returns (for example) "usr/bin/stepconf", launch be typing exactly that in the terminal. If "which stepconf" simply returns to the prompt you are running a pre-stepconf version of emc2 most likely.

I have just installed the alternate CD and ran the emc2 script and it now works.
thanks for replying.
