Failure to install Octoeverywhere/Mobileraker Companion on Creality OS Fix

[EchotreePrints]

Greetings Programs!

I have recently encountered a couple of issues with the Helper-Script failing to install the Octoeverywhere and the Mobileraker Companion plugins. Luckily, after being dumb for several weeks, I found the answer. QuinnDamerell, told me how to fix this, but having no real experience with linux absolutely misunderstood what he was suggesting. It wasn't until I found a year old reddit thread that I actually understood it.

You will need to ssh to the machine and run a series of simple commands:

For Octoeverywhere:

sudo rm -rf /usr/data/octoeverywehre-env /usr/data/octoeverywhere
sudo rm -rf /usr/data/octoeverywhere-env /usr/data/octoeverywhere

This will remove the octoeverywhere venv and directory that are installed with the helper script.

cd /usr/data/
moves our active directory to the /usr/data directory.

git clone https://github.com/QuinnDamerell/OctoPrint-OctoEverywhere.git octoeverywhere
clones the latest version of the octoeverywhere plugin to the usr/data/octoeverywhere dir, effectively replacing the version originally installed with the helper script

cd octoeverywhere
moves us into the octoeverywhere dir

sh isntall.sh
sh install.sh
runs the install script to reinstall the good version.

For Mobileraker:

sudo rm -rf /usr/data/mobileraker-env
This will remove the mobileraker venv and directory that are installed with the helper script.

cd /usr/data/mobileraker_companion/scripts
moves our active directory to the /usr/data/mobileraker_companion/scripts directory.

sh isntall.sh
sh install.sh
runs the mobileraker companion installer

This worked for me as far as allowing the mobileraker plugin to be used. If it doesn't work, You'll need to follow similar steps as the octoeverywhere plugin, removing both the venv and main folder, cloning the repository, and then running the install script.

This is courtesy of Destinal from the Devil Design discord for identifying the fix, and u/predtech on reddit for posting the fix, as well as QuinnDamarell for telling me how to fix it, even if I was too ignorant to figure out what he meant lmao.

Fixed a couple of typos in the copy/paste commands. I blame the dyslexia.

Great guide, meanwhile Obico ceased working due to lack of Janus being installed, wondering if compiling from source would be feasible..

@EchotreePrints it seems like venv/python isnt even installed for me. I did a factory reset through the helper script and after folling your instructions i get this:

root@Ender3V3KE-8864` /usr/data/octoeverywhere [#] sh install.sh

I think i fixed it. When installing entware i didnt close the ssh session when it said to. After factory resetting and doing that it seems to be working fine.

This has been causing me a headache for days with Obico. Turns out I should have maximised the window to see the warning. Thank you sir!!

@FredsMedia Did you ever find a fix for this? I am having the same issue with the venv

@EchotreePrints it seems like venv/python isnt even installed for me. I did a factory reset through the helper script and after folling your instructions i get this:
