Hi,
I just tried to install Indi on my Raspberry Pi 3.
I followed the process given in indilib.org/download/raspberry-pi.html
The dependendies were correctly installed.
But when I tried to extract the packages, it didn't work :( :
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tar -xzf libindi_1.3.1_rpi.tar.gz
tar (child): libindi_1.3.1_rpi.tar.gz : open impossible: no such file
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Did someone have the same issue ? What can I do ?
Thanks for your help ;)

For some reason the file you downloaded is named libindi_1.3.1_rpi.tar0.gz
Rename it by running:
mv libindi_1.3.1_rpi.tar0.gz libindi_1.3.1_rpi.tar.gz
and rerun tar -zxvf libindi_1.3.1_rpi.tar.gz.

This should help.

Anyway, what system are you using? If that's Ubuntu you should install indi as described here .

Thanks for your answer, but it says me "mv : impossible to evaluate libindi_1.3.1_rpi.tar0.gz : no such file"
Maybe the file has not been downloaded ? When I check in /home/pi/Downloads I don't find libindi_1.3.1_rpi.tar0.gz ...
As I am beguiner in Rpi and Linux, I don't know what to do

If the file does not exist, maybe the download hasn't finished or you are in the incorrect directory.
Make sure in your browser download history that the file has downloaded and where it's located.
Wich browser are you using?

Thanks for your answers,
I finally found my mistake : the file was automatically downloaded in the Download directory but I was trying to extract it from the /home/pi directory ... :whistle:
For other beguiners like me, you have first to enter the Download directory with :
~ $ cd Download
and then extract the file.
