Hi. I'm new here so be gentle. I've installed the 0.9 Alpha version of OP, unpacked it to a directory, found the root of the file system I needed to copy to a recently formatted SD card, stuck it in the Pi and booted it. Not for the first time though.
This time I checked that the OS directory contained the the OpenPlotter directory.
What I found was that, though I'd written about a gig's worth of the stuff to the SD card, my only option was to install one of the several NOOBS operating systems options none of which were "OpenPlotter". So again, I selected Raspian (certainly didnt want any of the other stuff) and waited and waited whilst it downloaded another gig's worth of stuff, rebooted, and ... all I get is a fresh Raspian install.
Now, I KNOW I downloaded the right image, I KNOW I wrote it to the SD card, I KNOW there is OpenPlotter stuff on the SD card, so why, Oh why, can't I install OpenPlotter?
I've tried this on a RasPi B and a RasPi 2. Might be a problem with the carbon-based life-form pressing the buttons since its getting on a bit -- unless you know different.
Help would be much appreciated.
