Notes for installing Koha on a Raspberry Pi 2 running Debian Jessie

Added

deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha stable main
deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha dists/squeeze/main/binary-i386/

and ran

wget -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add -

Tried installing koha-common, it said libgd-perl wasn't going to be installed so it wouldn't install koha-common.

Ran

sudo apt-get install libgd-perl

And it worked. Odd.

Tried again with

sudo apt-get install koha-common

And it said it could install now.

Usability

  • the install script ran at a reasonable speed
  • the admin interface is painfully slow

Note: RaspberryPi2 was a very underpowered model with 1GB of RAM. RaspberryPi4 8GB version could possibly be reasonably functional.
