I am working with Raspberry pi 3b+. I have installed Raspbian OS on the SD card. Now, I have to install Octoprint on raspbian os system. How to do it? While installing Octoprint from raspberry image viewer it requires SD card as storage system, so if I remove the SD card from raspberry pi and install ostoprint from image viewr using other PC, will it erase the raspbian OS and install a new Octoprint OS system or will it add the octoprint as an application.

I need to operate a 3D printer using octoprint on raspberry pi and also need raspbian OS system. Basically Octoprint should be installed as an application not as OS system on my raspberry pi.

  • This question is ambiguous. You CAN install multiple OS on a SD Card using PIN (although frankly it is easier and probably cheaper to use multiple SD Cards). You can install Octoprint on Raspberry Pi OS (which requires a level of Linux expertise). It is far from clear WHY you think you "also need raspbian OS system".

  • Incidentally Raspbian is meaningless. Raspberry Pi OS has been the official OS for several years.

There are details of how to install Octoprint on a running Raspbian system at the octoprint site.

It warns the task is not for the faint hearted.

IMO the best way to go would be using Docker. https://github.com/OctoPrint/octoprint-docker

You could even run something like Portainer, and then use a pre-existing app template to deploy an Octoprint container. NovaspiritTech has a good video on Portainer setup, which includes adding a repository of App Templates (including Octoprint)
