Description Stephen Gaito 2022-09-30 08:10:16 UTC
I have just attempted to install Koha on a Raspberry Pi 4 (8Gb) running Ubuntu 22.04 following your instructions at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian 

Reviewing your koha-common package requirements in aptitude, I find that all the required packages are "satisfiable" *except* `libcache-memcached-fast-safe-perl` which is marked as "unavailable".

Following the same instructions (via a bash script) on an Intel based laptop (running Ubuntu 22.04) shows all required packages are "satisfiable".

This suggests that you are missing the ARM64 version of `libcache-memcached-fast-safe-perl`.

---------

For a *small* (school) library, a Raspberry Pi 4 (8GB) should be sufficient, and more importantly inexpensive and greener to run 24/7.

hi Stephen

can you provide the output of the following commands
 sudo apt update
 apt policy libcache-memcached-fast-safe-perl koha-common

Hi Mason,

I am sorry to have taken a while to reply.

I have just recently gotten back into using Koha (testing for a School Library).

I am *very* happy to say, Koha can now be installed (and runs very nicely) on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB.

For the record here are the outputs you requested:

Since Koha can now be installed on a Raspberry Pi 4, please close this bug as solved.

Many thanks for a wonderful tool!
