# Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Installing Print-CLI on a Raspberry Pi is a quite simple process but requires some time installing the required
|
||||
packages. This guide will help you to install Print-CLI on a Raspberry Pi.
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated time: 30-60 minutes
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 1: Install the Raspberry Pi OS
|
||||
|
||||
Before we start, make sure you have created a bootable SD card with the **Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS 64-bit** image. The
|
||||
simplest way is to use the Raspberry Pi Imager which enables you to select an Ubuntu image when flashing your SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
Recommended configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
- **OS**: Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS 64-bit
|
||||
- **Username**: print-cli
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 2: Install Required Packages
|
||||
|
||||
Next, we need to install the required packages for Print-CLI to work. Run the following commands and grab a coffee while
|
||||
the packages are being installed (it may take a while):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
|
||||
sudo apt-get install -y git cups zip unzip supervisor \
|
||||
composer php-zip php-curl php-xml php-mbstring
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, add the Composer bin directory to your PATH, so you can run the `print-cli` command from anywhere:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 3: Ensure CUPS is Running
|
||||
|
||||
Now we need to ensure that the CUPS service is running. CUPS is the printing system used by Print-CLI to send print jobs
|
||||
to the printer. This is the most important step, so make sure you follow it carefully, otherwise, Print-CLI won't work
|
||||
as expected, and you won't be able to print anything.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo cupsctl --remote-admin --remote-any
|
||||
sudo usermod -aG lpadmin print-cli
|
||||
sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure the CUPS service is running by visiting the following URL in your browser:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
https://10.20.0.195:631/printers/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You should see a page with a list of printers. If you don't see any printers, you may need to add one manually.
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure that you can print a test page by clicking on the printer name and selecting "Print Test Page".
|
||||
|
||||
### Find the Printer Address
|
||||
|
||||
To find the printer address, visit your Printers page in CUPS, and click on the printer name. The address in the browser
|
||||
should look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
https://10.20.0.195:631/printers/EPSON_ET_2720_Series
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It contains the Name of the printer, which is the `printer-name` part. You can use this address in the configuration
|
||||
file for Print-CLI. In most cases, just replace the `https` with `ipp` and replace the ip to `127.0.0.1`:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
ipp://127.0.0.1:631/printers/EPSON_ET_2720_Series
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 4: Install Print-CLI
|
||||
|
||||
So far, we have installed all the required packages and ensured that CUPS is running. Now we can install Print-CLI using
|
||||
Composer, the PHP package manager. Run the following command to install Print-CLI globally:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
composer global require anikeen/print-cli
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can also use the same command to update Print-CLI to the latest version:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
composer global require anikeen/print-cli
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 5: Configure Print-CLI
|
||||
|
||||
In this tutorial, we're using the home directory of the `print-cli` user to store the configuration file. If you're
|
||||
using a different user, make sure to replace `print-cli` with the correct username.
|
||||
|
||||
Next create a configuration file `~/print-cli.yml`, and add the following content:
|
||||
|
||||
> Make sure to replace the `license_key`, `your-printer-uuid`, `address`, `username`, and `password` with your own
|
||||
> values. Also make sure to replace the `base_url` with the correct URL to our events platform.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
base_url: 'https://events.anikeen.com'
|
||||
license_key: 'your-license-key'
|
||||
printers:
|
||||
- id: 'your-printer-uuid'
|
||||
name: EPSON ET 2750
|
||||
driver: cups
|
||||
address: 'ipp://127.0.0.1:631/printers/EPSON_ET_2720_Series'
|
||||
username: 'print-cli'
|
||||
password: 'password'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To test the configuration, run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
print-cli serve
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If everything is configured correctly, you should see the following output:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
Starting service...
|
||||
Reading configuration...
|
||||
Service started!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can exit the service by pressing `Ctrl+C`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 6: Supervisor Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
To run Print-CLI as a service, we can use Supervisor. Supervisor is a process control system that allows you to monitor
|
||||
and control a number of processes on UNIX-like operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a new configuration file `/etc/supervisor/conf.d/print-cli.conf`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[program:print-cli]
|
||||
directory = /home/print-cli
|
||||
command = /usr/bin/php /home/print-cli/.config/composer/vendor/bin/print-cli serve
|
||||
autostart = true
|
||||
autorestart = true
|
||||
stderr_logfile = /var/log/print-cli.err.log
|
||||
stdout_logfile = /var/log/print-cli.out.log
|
||||
stopwaitsecs = 3600
|
||||
user = print-cli
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now, update Supervisor to read the new configuration file and start the Print-CLI service:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo supervisorctl reread
|
||||
sudo supervisorctl update
|
||||
sudo supervisorctl start print-cli
|
||||
```

||||
