LBRY for Raspberry Pi

Open robd003 opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Could we get the build system to build aarch64 & armhf binaries for Raspberry Pi users?

I think one user already tried this in the past, but it runs quite slow.

To use LBRY you don't need the entire Desktop application, you just need the small lbrynet binary.

@belikor even on the Pi 4?

Do you know if there's anything special you need to do to build lbrynet on arm64?

lbrynet is a Python program, so you only need the Python interpreter, which works in the Raspberry Pi without issues.

Exactly how the Python code becomes a single executable, I don't know. But if you want to run it, you only need to follow the instructions in the INSTALL.md from lbry-sdk.

Basically

python3 lbry/extras/cli.py start
