Some platforms require a slightly different installation procedure, or have
various quirks that are worth being aware of. These are listed here.
Reticulum on ARM64
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
On some architectures, including ARM64, not all dependencies have precompiled
binaries. On such systems, you may need to install ``python3-dev`` before
installing Reticulum or programs that depend on Reticulum.
.. code::
# Install Python and development packages
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-dev
# Install Reticulum
python3 -m pip install rns
Reticulum on Raspberry Pi
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It is currently recommended to use a 64-bit version of the Raspberry Pi OS
if you want to run Reticulum on Raspberry Pi computers, since 32-bit versions
don't always have packages available for some dependencies.
While it is possible to install and run Reticulum on 32-bit Rasperry Pi OSes,
it will require manually configuring and installing some packages, and is not
detailed in this manual.
Reticulum on Fedora
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
On Fedora, ``pip`` installation may fail with an error message, since the ``netifaces``
package cannot be installed natively via ``pip``. This can be resolved by installing
the ``python3-netifaces`` package via ``dnf`` first:
.. code::
sudo dnf install python3-netifaces
Alternatively, you can install basic development packages, which will allow
``pip`` to install any required packages from source:
.. code::
sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"

Debian Bookworm
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
On versions of Debian released after April 2023, it is no longer possible
to use ``pip`` to install packages onto your system. Unfortunately, you will need to
use the replacement ``pipx`` command instead, which places installed packages in an
isolated environment. This should not negatively affect Reticulum, but installation
via this method is not fully tested yet.
.. code::
# Install pipx
sudo apt install pipx
# Make installed programs available on the command line
pipx ensurepath
