I’m guessing getting it to work in Linux is easier, but I use Linux all the time, so maybe not for everyone. Octoprint has a very healthy google group to answer any specific setup questions. It’s probably something similar to these instructions: https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/wiki/Setup-on-a-Raspberry-Pi-running-Raspbian
That being said, installation on a pi using the octopi image is really really easy. So if you’re pressed for time and flush with cash, it’s definitely a better solution.
Yea, octopi is much easier to set up and run. I have octoprint running on a laptop because I kept crashing octopi with a couple gcode files, too big. The only issue I have is I can’t get it to autoupdate the software.
