### Raspberry PI
*Experimental* The code can be compiled on a Raspberry PI:
* Raspberry PI 3b+
* 64gb SD Card (less might work too, but the default recommended 4-8GB will probably be too small)
* [Rasbian Buster Lite](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/) - Lite version is enough to get going and will save some disk space!
Assuming you're working with a freshly written image:
```bash
# Start by increasing swap size to 2gb:
sudo vi /etc/dphys-swapfile
# Set CONF_SWAPSIZE=2048
# :wq
sudo reboot
# Install prerequisites
sudo apt-get install git libgflags-dev libsnappy-dev
mkdir status
cd status
# Install rocksdb
git clone https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb.git
cd rocksdb
make shared_lib
sudo make install
cd..
# Raspberry pi doesn't include /usr/local/lib in library search path - need to add
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
git clone https://github.com/status-im/nimbus.git
cd nimbus
# Follow instructions above!
```
