Installation of klipper with KIAUH

To make it as easy as possible to install (and update) klipper we are using KIAUH (klipper istallation and update helper).

Next KIAUH will be downloaded via:

cd ~ 
git clone https://github.com/th33xitus/kiauh.git

And we start the script with the following command ./kiauh/kiauh.sh showing us this screen:

On first start nothing is installed what can be seen on the KIAUH screen. We now can install one by one klipper, moonraker and the GUI (in this tutoria fluidd) via selecting the corresponding menues.

KIAUH is asking us where the configurations are located and we do not change the proposed value /home/pi/klipper_config. So we press Enter and answer the question Set config directory to... with Y. Next question is about the quantity of klipper instances (number of printers) - we choose 1 and confirm with Y. Klipper will now be downloaded and dependencies will be installed (Time to get some coffee :))

If all went well we are back in the installation menu and we can continue with installing moonraker.

KIAUH is checking the installed python version and the answer regarding the moonraker instance is Y. As before it´s time watch the download and installation of moonraker and dependencies (Time to enjoy a sip of coffee :))

And we are back in the installation menu again. Now we choose our GUI (fluidd, selection 4) and again several packages are being downloaded and installed.

As we are using our own configuration package we can safely answer N to the next question (macros are already there). fluidd will be downloaded and installed and we are back in the installation menu once again.

If you are using a webcam to watch your printer you´ll have to install MJPG-Streamer (selection 10). This will take quite a while since several packages are downloaded and compiled (Did somebody say coffee?!)

After finishing all installations we leave KIAUH with B and Q - next stop "Creating and flashing firmware"
