SystemBox/SysBox

Run x86 linux apps on a Raspberry Pi / ARM Device!

Features

How SysBox works

SystemBox was created to mimic Exagear Desktop, which is now discontinued. SysBox uses chroot which can create linux environments running on different linux architectures.

For example, if you run an ARM32 based operating system, you can create an x86 environment with chroot.

Currently, SysBox only supports Debian 9 (Stretch) as the guest/vm image.

Installation

First, you would need to get the repo, so you can install the software, git clone https://github.com/MegaTKC/systembox.git Next, you will need to go into the directory so you can run other commands. cd ~/sysbox Then, you need to make the install file executable. chmod +x install-sysbox.sh Lastly, you will need to run the file, with sudo, since the software will need to create files in certain directories. sudo ./install-sysbox.sh This process will take a while depending on your sd-card speed. An ssd or hard drive hasn't been tested, so I believe that the install speeds will be faster.
