I’m trying to build Etcher on a Raspberry Pi 4, as part of a larger effort to see if I can use the Pi4 as a daily driver desktop replacement. I found this post with some starting tips . That pointed me to the Contributing.md document in the github project. No problems with the Common and Linux prere…

What’s the easier path here - to try to debug the install via gem, or to play with my apt sources or otherwise get it to install via apt?

the fpm site fpm installation suggests that certain prerequisites may be necessary apt-get install ruby ruby-dev rubygems build-essential I get this output: sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev rubygems build-essential Reading package lists… Done Building dependency tree Reading state informa…

Just to cover our bases, have you tried running apt-get update before the apt-get install command?

try sudo apt install ruby-dev and try again

sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev rubygems build-essential Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done build-essential is already the newest version (12.6). ruby is already the newest version (1:2.5.1+b1). Some packages could not be installed. …

It’s interesting that the error says that rubygems : Depends: ruby1.8. Because I already have ruby 2.5.5: pi@pi4:~ $ ruby --version ruby 2.5.5p157 (2019-03-15 revision 67260) [arm-linux-gnueabihf] Is the problem that rubygems is somehow needing ruby1.8 SPECIFICALLY? Or that it’s not recognizing…

As you mentioned above, output of uname -a is Linux pi4 4.19.75-v7l+ #1270 SMP Tue Sep 24 18:51:41 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux so I think you should build the electron for arm instead of arm64 since it’s armv7l. Can you please try with: ./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder --arm --linux deb and let u…

I tried ./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder --arm --linux deb And it failed with the message: Unknown argument: arm It also dumped all the permitted commands, as if I had specified “–help”, and there are clearly only two arm-related choices, which are: --armv7l Build for armv…

When I try armv7l, I get the following, which seems like a lot of successful building followed by a failure to package, trying to run an x86 version of fpm on an arm machine. pi@pi4:~/Documents/etcher $ ./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder --armv7l --linux deb Configuring yargs through package.json…
