#Instead of the repository of the Core Ravencoin developers, [https://github.com/underdarkskies Under] who is also an active developer, compiled static versions of the Ravencoin wallet/node. Static means that this version works straight out of the box for each operating system. For the Raspberry Pi, you need the [https://github.com/underdarkskies/Ravencoin/releases ARM-linux version of Ravencoin]. Open a console and use the following code:
#:<pre>
#::cd ~/ wget https://github.com/underdarkskies/Ravencoin/releases/download/v2.1.1/raven-2.1.1-arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.gz gunzip ./tar -xvzf raven-2.1.1-arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.gz </pre> '''Note:''' Under and I just saved you hours of headaches and 2 hours of compiling!
# There is no working Ravencoin GUI for the Raspberry Pi. So you will need to get everything working from the command line. I like to put binaries into my default local user binary location so that I can globally access them from anywhere.
#:<pre>
#Next up is starting the deamon (''ravend'') process to start the Ravencoin node.
#:<pre>
#::Ravend ravend & </pre>
#Ravend runs entirely in the background, so you cannot see what is happening. The process will create wallet and blockchain files in <code>~/.raven/</code>. Subsequently, it will start downloading the Ravencoin blockchain. This will take forever! So, what we are going to do is stop ''ravend'' after ~5 minutes and thank [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTGFgr_1P8jdiM1Xend0ELw/featured Cryptoslo] for sharing a link that contains 1.8GB of the blockchain already.
