Couldn’t get it to work 
so after a little bit of poking around but i landed on jscut (http://jscut.org/) and cncjs. JScut is about as simple as it gets with 2d vector cuts and has been perfect for making gcode for cncjs which is my favorite tool right now for doing cuts (has a visualizer of what it is cutting and time estimation stuff!) Seems to be about as useful a workflow as the carbide tools although the javascript is never without ui glitches. Once i got my code running though it seems to be about as dependable. Haven’t done anything too complex yet. I have to recommend it for linux users doing 2d cuts though(much better than meshcam or paying for software).
