Plastic server on Raspberry Pi


Recommended Posts

I've read places saying that installation on the Pi is possible but i have not been able to do it. I've done all the steps before running 'sudo apt-get update' but when i run update i get this:

Hey!

 

Yes, I successfully run Plastic server on a Rapsberry Pi.

 

These are the steps I followed:

 

1) Build the latest Mono 3.2 -> I followed step by step the instructions here: http://neildanson.wordpress.com/2013/12/10/building-mono-on-a-raspberry-pi-hard-float/ You can install an older mono doing apt-get. Make sure you have the latest installed before trying to build 3.2. It takes well beyond 3 hours to complete. You'll need to install "make" and many more :P. If it doesn't work I think I can copy my binaries and share them with you.

 

2) I used a Plastic SCM zip installer to copy the binaries. I configured it to run with sqlite.

 

Remarks:

 

* It is not super-fast mostly due to the slow IO: 4mb/s using the default SD, 6mb/s with my external 16Gb USB.

 

* We found a bug in a Plastic cache thanks to Rapsberry. We expect to publish the fix early next week. It doesn't prevent you to install plastic on rapsberry NOW but it will be faster with the fix :)

The Plastic-*-linux-server-binaries.zip contains .NET/mono assemblies - thus in linux environment you need a working mono installation.

It is not that obvious, but in the zip file, there is a /scripts folder with Readme.txt and some helper scripts. Just follow Readme instructions and you should have a working plastic installation on linux.
