 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'').

 +====== 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
 +
