Klipper Settup Help for V2.9

Question

Hi all!  I've followed the klipper install guide  here  with a few minor changes.  The "make" command was returning "make: arm-none-eabi-gcc: Command not found" so I ran "apt install gcc-arm-none-eabi".  This seemed to almost work then I got a "dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'nodejs' missing".  I ran the "sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/nodejs.list ." command in the root and reran my make command in the klipper directory.  this completed my make command. I then flashed the micro-controller using the "http://your_raspberryPI_IP:8181" and got a "Transfer complete" and "closed!" return. Now in Octoprint, the “/tmp/printer” refuses to show up in my Serial Port section even after adding it to "Additional serial ports".  I've restarted the PandaPIv2.9 several times and no dice. I also cant seem to locate the "/tmp/printer" directory on my Pi 3B+.  Any suggestions? Raspberry Pi: 3B+ Image: PandaPi3_20210403 PandaPI: 2.9 let me know if I should provide anything else.

Hi, the reason is that the klipper was not installed succesful when run ./klipper/scripts/install-octopi.shI found it do apt-get update failed, I fixed this problem by comment this line# sudo apt-get updatein the install-octopi.sh, and then run again

That worked! I'd recommend adding that information to the install document or updating the OS image of the PI so that future users don't run into the same issue and have to come here to find the solution. Thank you so much for your help, I very much appreciate it :D
