Installing Gunbot on ArmV7l (Raspberry Pi)

Gunbot users who want to operate on a Raspberry Pi, specifically on the ArmV7l architecture, should note the current compatibility limitations. As of now, newer Gunbot versions not supported due to library and performance constraints of the Raspberry Pi. The last compatible version is Gunbot v24.

Prerequisites​

Before proceeding, ensure you have a Raspberry Pi 4 ready for setup. This guide focuses on installing Gunbot v24, which is the latest version supported on this platform.

Downloading the ARM Build​

Start by obtaining the ARM build of Gunbot v24:

  1. Visit the official Gunbot ARM build repository.
  2. Download the gunthy_arm.zip file.
