Installation

Debian Packages for Raspberry Pi OS ( Legacy Debian 10 Buster )

Legacy Debian packages for Raspberry Pi OS ( Debian 10 Buster ) are available on this page.

Packages for current Raspberry Pi OS and general installation instructions are available here.

If you would like to install runtime dependencies first rather than resolving during dpkg install the list is:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdevice-serialport-perl \
                     libfile-slurp-perl \
                     libjson-perl \
                     libtry-tiny-perl \
                     libuniversal-require-perl \
                     libio-epoll-perl \
                     libimage-imlib2-perl \
                     libbit-vector-perl \
                     libxml-libxml-perl \
                     libwww-perl \
                     libperl-dev \
                     zlib1g-dev
