InstallingGRFromSource on Raspberry Pi

These instructions have been tested with the Raspbian Buster with desktop and recommended software Operating System on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. A 32GB microSD card is recommended.

Load prerequisites
You may have some of these prerequisites already, but it doesn't hurt to get them again and check for the latest versions. sudo apt update --allow-releaseinfo-change sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install git cmake g++ libboost-all-dev libgmp-dev swig python3-numpy \ python3-mako python3-sphinx python3-lxml doxygen libfftw3-dev \ libsdl1.2-dev libgsl-dev libqwt-qt5-dev libqt5opengl5-dev python3-pyqt5 \ liblog4cpp5-dev libzmq3-dev python3-yaml python3-click python3-click-plugins \ python3-zmq python3-scipy libpthread-stubs0-dev

Set up a swap file
A swap file will improve the compile time greatly. sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile sudo chmod 600 /swapfile sudo mkswap /swapfile sudo swapon /swapfile To make the swap file permanent, add this line to /etc/fstab /swapfile none  swap  sw  0  0

Build
The next steps will take two or more hours. Be patient. The terminal does show the progress.
