I’m a long-time Altium user looking to switch to LibrePCB for my personal projects. Amazing work so far!

I recently picked up a Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB version) - **is it possible to install LibrePCB on one of the Raspberry Pi compatible Linux distros**? I’m fairly new to Linux in general, so not sure what I should be looking for, or if LibrePCB even supports ARM yet.

Thanks!

With a little tinkering, answered my own question 🙂 Here are the steps for anyone interested:

* * *

**(1)** Install the latest Raspbian Desktop - [https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/)

**(2)** Once set up, in the Terminal install **flatpak** with the following command:

`sudo apt install flatpak`

then

`flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo`

**(3)** Restart the Raspberry Pi.

**(4)** Install LibrePCB with flatpak:

`flatpak install librepcb`

Press “Y” through all the recommended setup options.

**(5)** When installed, type the following to run:

`flatpack run org.librepcb.LibrePCB`

* * *

Seems to work like a charm!

Any chance we can get AppImage builds for aarch64? I really love how easy it is use AppImages, and switch between versions quickly.
