  Post the terminal content when you do configure and create desktop. I think there must be an error message explaining why it fails.

  Hi Repetier
  I think I have finally cracked the install but I did get this weird message:
  
  /Documents/bigprinter/RepetierHost$ sh configureFirst.sh
  System: x86_64
  Using 64 bit CuraEngine

  Configuration finished.
  IMPORTANT: In addition to the bundled CuraEngine, the host also
  supports Slic3r and Skeinforge. These slicers are not bundled, so
  need to install them according to their docs and then set the path
  to them in Repetier-Host.
  For Slic3r simply unpack the tar you get on http://slic3r.org in this directory.
  The host will then register and add it automatically on next restart.
  
  IMPORTANT: You need a recent mono version since the host uses .NET 4.0
  If you see the following error message, your mono is too old!

  Is this a problem?

  Your call to createDesktop is not needed - that is done by configureFirst.sh already and even correctly (the sh causes the dir to be wrong causing the bad substitution message).

  
  

  repetierHost is a link in /usr/bin to that directory. So do NOT delete the directory where you unpacked the host! Also the user running configureFirst.sh must have write permissions there to create the Repetier-Host.desktop file. Make sure you have /usr/bin in your path variable but that is normally the case. In any case should you be able to start the host from installation directory,

  Hi Repetier
  Thanks for your previous responses
  I now have another problem. I am attempting to connect  nema 23 stepper motors (8 wires wired in series) to an arduino due board with the repetier firmware installed.  I used the on line firmware generator and uploaded it to the board as far as I know successfully.   I have tried to test the motors but although there seems to be power going to them they do not respond to move commands on the host software.
  
  Do all the endstops, thermistors, heated bed and hot ends need to be connected before it will move?
  
  Am I missing something in my attempt to connect this machine?
  
  Thanks

  The dev tree has this feature (MOVE_X_WHEN_HOMED) which prevents moves before homing. Also you can not move against a triggered endstop, so make sure M119 shows all endstops as L. Extruders will only move when hot or dryrun not triggered and cold extrusion enabled (M302 S1)

  
  

  Can't say how to connect 8 wire nemas. That might also be a source of errors.
