I don't know if this is the 'proper' way but here is my set of notes for install on Pi

Download owfs to desktop
copy to pi
move it to /usr/local/src
cd /usr/local/src
sudo tar zxpf owfs-whatever_version.tar.gz    # change to latest version
cd owfs-whatever_version                # change to latest version
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

create mount directory
sudo mkdir /var/1-wire
sudo mkdir /var/1-wire/mnt

It installs into /opt/owfs/ and I don't think it adds it to the path, so call with /opt/owfs/bin/owfs, etc, there is probably a better way to do that :)

Also it doesn't create an owfs.conf which has not bothered me as I pass it all the parameters when I call it.

Hope that helps

Mick

Hallo :-)

What is the proper way (instructions) to install the newest ! version of owfs
on a Raspberry Pi Model B+ running the newest version of Raspbian?

I had success with

sudo apt-get install owfs

However, this installed version 2.8.

If I do what is said on the "Install" note in the current version, I do not get a proper install. Which manifests itself in the fact, that I do not get the owfs.conf file in /etc/

Also, can't start owfs with 'sudo service owserver start'.

PS: I DO need the newest version of owfs for the new hobby boards barometer / humidity devices.

Thanks for you help,

Eric
