Hi @BosniaCNC,

cn5X++ is developped under Debian, so, it's very easy to use it on another Debian

1. Install prerequisites:
   apt-get install python3 python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtserialport
2. Add the user to the unix group "dialout":
   adduser <username> dialout
3. Download or clone cn5X and put it where you want on your system, ensure that the file cn5X.py is executable or make it executable:
   cd <cn5X_directory>; chmod +x cn5X.py
4. Run cn5X:
   cd <cn5X_directory>; ./cn5X.py

5. In the "Port" drop down list, chose the port where Grbl is connected, then click on the "Connect" button,
6. Go to the "Machine/Grbl configuration" menu to adjust your Grbl parameters
   or Double click on the "Emergency stop" button to unlock it and begin to use your CNC.
