This still isn't 100% clear to a newbie that they need to also install that. Just adding something like "sudo apt install betaflight-configurator_10.10.0_amd64.deb" after the download would be nice. Unless that should not be done until after the other dependencies.

I think 

wget https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/releases/download/10.10.0/betaflight-configurator_10.10.0_amd64.deb
sudo apt install betaflight-configurator_10.10.0_amd64.deb

Hello,

Not adding that step right after was extremely intentional, as the install will fail on ubuntu 24.10 if you do these directly as shown in the screenshot below: image

The intent is that they would first download that file, and the continue with the steps needed for their distro.

Ah got it.

thespova commented 13 hours ago

Maybe both those steps should be added after the dependencies then? Or maybe its fine the way it is. IDK thanks.

This is no longer relevant as there will be no further binary releases. From 11.0, there will only be https://app.betaflight.com/, https://master.dev.app.betaflight.com/, and maybe version specific URL's.

nerdCopter commented 4 hours ago

i'll redact my closing since the how-to was recently added. but really this makes no sense, since this readme is attached to current master at 11.0, not legacy 10.10.
