How do I install web control? Need very basic description

WebControl How do I ... ?
1

I’ve used the Maslow with Ground Control, but find it’s too buggy. I’d like to try Web Control, but honestly can’t even understand how it is set up.

At first, I thought I’d download Web Control to my laptop like I did with Ground Control. However, the instructions and git hub seem to say it goes on a raspberry pi.

This page (Home - WebControl) says webcontrol ‘Connects to Maslow’s Arduino Mega (or similar) via USB’.
The page also says ’ * It can be run on a low-cost device, like a Raspberry Pi.’

So, I guess I buy a raspberry pi and put Web Control on it, and then hook the pi to the arduino via a usb cable. Then I log in to the pi through wifi?
Which pi should I get? 400? Pico? 4 Model B?

Sorry for all the questions. Any help is appreciated!

Webcontrol can run on an old PC as well. I run webcontrol on a raspberry pi 3b. Gcode is Uploaded from my design machine and Maslow is controled with my phone in the shop.

I love this method, because now any device with a web browser can run the Maslow.
