Raspberry Pi

ENiGMA½ can run under your Linux / RPi installation! The following instructions should help get you started.

Tested RPi Models

Model A

Works, but fairly slow when browsing message areas (Node itself is not the fastest on this device). May work better overlocked, etc.

v2 Model B

Works well with Raspbian!

Keep in mind, compiling the dependencies with npm install will take some time and appear to hang. Just be patient.

Example Configuration: RPi Model A + Raspbian Stretch Lite

Basic Instructions

  1. Download Raspbian Stretch Lite. Follow the instructions on the Raspbian site regarding how to get it written to an SD card.

  2. Run sudo raspi-config, then:

    1. Set your timezone (option 4, option I2)
    2. Enable SSH (option 5, option P2)
    3. Expand the filesystem to use the entire SD card (option 7, option A1)
  3. Update & upgrade all packages: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

  4. Install required packages: sudo apt install lrzsz p7zip-full

  5. Follow the Quickstart instructions to install ENiGMA½.

  6. Profit!
