Installaion
The installation places files in the following locations

Cura
Cura is a 3D slicing program which seems to have gone through three major architecture changes roughly coinciding with versions 0.15.X and 2.1.X. OctoPrint (Currently 12.1) does not support the 2.1.X implementation and the EBuild locks in at the 0.15.6 version available in the gentoo repository.

User(s) and Group(s)
From the OctoPrint Manual one should create a OctoPrint User and allow them access to the Serial and Terminal groups. For now I'm running octoprint as the root user.

Serial
The Arduino website discusses serial connection issues. A User on the Gentoo Forums provides a more structured guide on resolving these.
