Wouter van Reeven replied to the topic '64bit Astroberry' in the forum. 2 years ago

The info on how to get INDI for Raspbian is outdated. Simply use

wget -O - https://www.astroberry.io/repo/key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo su -c "echo 'deb https://www.astroberry.io/repo/ bullseye main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/astroberry.list"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install indi-full kstars-bleeding
and kstars installs fine on Raspberry OS 64 bit.

However, running it turned out to be problematic:
$ kstars
org.kde.kstars: Failed to create local astrometry directory

org.kde.kstars: Welcome to KStars 3.6.0 Stable

So I copied the ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/kstars directory from my MacBook to ~/.local/share/kstars on the Raspberry Pi and now it's working.


HTH, Wouter
