Just got my Powerblock and need help installing

[MajorNerdgasm]

Hello

So I just recieved my PowerBlock from petrockblock and having problem installing it.

I tried the Quick Installation guide but it failed miserable, something about not find a host.

So I started with the manual install and went forward and now I'm stuck at this part.

---

cd PowerBlock
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

---

I'm getting this error:

---

pi@retropie:~ $ cd PowerBlock
pi@retropie:~/PowerBlock $ mkdir build && cd build
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘build’: File exists
pi@retropie:~/PowerBlock $ cmake ..
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/pi" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
pi@retropie:~/PowerBlock $

---

I'm really new to unix etc but I thought this would be easy :)

Best Regards
John

Just remove the build folder and start again. The command to remove it:

rm -fr /home/pi/PowerBlock/build

Seems like DOXYGEN is missing, but I ran these lines before:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install -y cmake g++-4.9 doxygen

Shouldn't the quick install be the following? So a slash between master and install.sh.

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/petrockblog/PowerBlock/master/install.sh | sudo bash

@barrymossel

Thanks man, that did work!

Now the powerblock seems to work just fine! :D

They guy should update his github instructions. For a noob like me, I wouldn't see an error like that.

Maybe @petrockblog can update his github? ;)

Sorry for that typo! I have just pushed the fix for that.
