Hello, I see there is a mainsail AFC fork but there are no installation instructions. I already have a fully functional voron 2.4 with box turtle running mainsail, just wondering what needs to happen in order for me to install the AFC stuff? I assume I have to just reinstall mainsail and while I have done that many times I am not sure what changes are needed to get it to install the afc version. Generally I have just been installing mainsail along with the raspberry pi OS through the pi imager flasher. Would prefer not to have to reinstall pi OS (just because then I need to tip up my printer rather than installing with ssh). The last time I tried to do mainsail through Kiuah I couldn't figure out how to get crowsnest to work and ended up reinstalling it through the pi imager instead.

This has nothing to do with MainsailOS, you want to install a fork of Mainsail
The AFC people should provide instructions
You can also look at our docs, how to install Mainsail manually:
https://docs.mainsail.xyz/setup/getting-started/manual-setup#install-httpdocs
This is the important part:
cd ~/mainsail
wget -q -O mainsail.zip https://github.com/mainsail-crew/mainsail/releases/latest/download/mainsail.zip && unzip mainsail.zip && rm mainsail.zip```In theory you sholud just change the download to a build of the AFC people
But it's so old, there are no new builds available as it seems
Download that, put it on your pi and unzip it in the Mansail folder
As you see, it's not just simple and the AFC people should provide some instructions somewhere

Sorry, I literally got the link to this discord from the readme on the fork
fair onyx
yes, as the fork did not adjust the readme
It just added it's own part
I'm not entirely sure which exact PR they support, and I'm not sure, if that PR I sent is currently 100% functional
That's why I'm hesitating to just send you the whole thing you have to do. I recommend to ask/search on the AFC Discord for instructions, as they are the people that can support you in AFC specific problems the best
