Architecture Compatibility

Current Libraries (req_libraries/)

• Compatible with: 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS (aarch64)
• NOT compatible with: 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS (armv7l)

For 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS

The current wheels contain aarch64 packages that won't work on 32-bit systems.

Installation Options

64-bit Raspberry Pi OS:

./install_offline.sh

32-bit Raspberry Pi OS:

1. Run on internet-connected system: ./download_32bit_libs.sh
2. Copy req_libraries_32bit/ to offline system
3. Rename: mv req_libraries_32bit req_libraries
4. Run: ./install_offline.sh

System Requirements

32-bit systems need build tools:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential python3-dev python3-pip

All systems need VLC:

sudo apt install vlc

Quick Check

uname -m

• aarch64 = 64-bit (current wheels work)
• armv7l = 32-bit (need different wheels)
