Hi. I'd like to be able to use Amfora on my Raspberry Pi. And seeing as how Gemini is fairly lightweight, it stands to reason that such a platform could conceivably handle it...better than how it's handling typing this message in Firefox on a Pi right now...

Happy to report that Amfora already runs well on the Raspberry Pi. You'll want to download the binary that's named linux_armv7. That will work for RPi 2, 3, and 4 running Raspberry Pi OS. linux_armv6 will also work, but isn't as optimized. linux_armv6 is required for some older Pis though. See this table for details. Note that arm64, aka ARMv8, will not work with Raspberry Pi OS because it's not a 64-bit OS.

Here's the download link for Amfora v1.8.0 for the ARMv7 architecture: https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora/releases/download/v1.8.0/amfora_1.8.0_linux_armv7

Building from source will also work fine on a Raspberry Pi.

Let me know if you have any other questions or issues!
