+**Note:** While Raspbian and the 32-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS are virtually identical, the 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS is a significant departure from Raspbian. These instructions are untested on the 64-bit version.

 These instructions install Synchronet (source code, executables, configuration, and data files) into a sub-directory named ''sbbs'' off of the home directory of the current user (e.g. ''~/sbbs''). So if the current user is "pi", that would expand to ''/home/pi/sbbs''. If you wish to install into a different directory (e.g. ''/sbbs'' instead of ''~/sbbs''), then change the following commands as you see fit, but that is not recommended.
-Type each of these commands:
+Install all the [[install:nix:prerequisites]] for Debian/Ubuntu for version 23.00 upwards then follow the instructions below:
+**Note: If using an Rpi4 use a 64 bit Raspberry Pi OS and download arm64 instead of armhf.**

 Although it [[https://www.tal.org/tutorials/raspberry-pi3-build-64-bit-kernel|is possible]] to create 64-bit ARM binaries for the Raspberry Pi 3/3+ through cross-compilation, this is not supported by the Raspberry Pi foundation and thus not covered here.
+====== DOSEMU On Raspberry Pi 4 with 64 Bit OS ======
+You will need to add the DosEMU2 Launchpad PPA to your system.
+First, add the public key
+  $ sudo curl -sS 'https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xebe1b5ded2ad45d6'|gpg --dearmor > /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ubuntu-dosemu2-ppa.gpg
+This step seems to be a challenge for some people so you may have to break it into a couple of steps
+  $   curl -sS 'https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xebe1b5ded2ad45d6' | gpg --dearmor > /tmp/dosemupgp.txt
+  $   sudo mv /tmp/dosemupgp.txt /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ubuntu-dosemu2-ppa.gpg
+Second, create a source file
+  $ sudo echo "deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/dosemu2/ppa/ubuntu kinetic main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dosemu2
+Next, run apt update to make sure there are no issues
+  $ sudo apt update
+Then install the DosEMU2 files
+  $ apt install dosemu2
+A number of packages will be installed.
+Finally, download Nelgin's dosemu2 configurations. Untar the file and follow the readme. You should be left with a working DosEMU
+ $ wget https://www.endofthelinebbs.com/dosemu2.tar.gz
+ $ tar xf dosemu2.tar.gz
