| howto:raspbian_install [2022/02/14 18:14] – [Install Synchronet on a Raspberry Pi] Adjusted the intro a bit since RPi OS is more likely to be installed than Raspbian, and explained that the 64-bit version may not work. Andre | howto:raspbian_install [2024/10/11 22:16] (current) – Installation make command-line updated to reflect new makefile name and default target digital man |

| 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. | 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'').

| ==== libmozjs ==== | ====== 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 |
| |
| The new Raspberry Pi OS (bullseye) does not include the package ''libmozjs185-dev''. | $ wget https://www.endofthelinebbs.com/dosemu2.tar.gz |
| | $ tar xf dosemu2.tar.gz |
| |
| See [[https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/113695/cannot-install-libmozjs185-on-rpi-3-running-ubuntu-mate|this page]] for a reported solution. | |
