OctoPrint Hologram Dependency Fix

OctoPrint has a sweet plugin called octoprint-hologram which overlays a ‘hologram’ of the 3D print while your printing. If you attempt to install this from the plugin install in OctoPrint, this may fail and the issue is a dependency issue that Numpy requires you’ll need to manually add. I found the below solution here:

https://github.com/MarkSlat/OctoPrint-Hologram/issues/1#issuecomment-2119084078

To do this, run this:

sudo apt install libgfortran5 libopenblas0-pthread

After that, you can run these commands to get numpy:

source ~/oprint/bin/activate
pip install --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir numpy
deactivate

Once you complete this, you can go back to OctoPrint and instsall the Hologram plugin. Also, keep in mind, this is a very resource intensive update. I’m running this on a Raspberry Pi 3b+
