Install on Raspberry Pi (AppImage, advanced)

If you want a custom Lumicast install on a Raspberry Pi instead of using the preconfigured OS image, use the Linux ARM AppImage builds.

Determine which AppImage build you need

Lumicast offers Linux AppImage builds for ARM64 and ARMv7l. ARM64 runs on 64-bit systems, ARMv7l on 32-bit.

  1. Open a terminal window.

  2. Run:

    bash
    uname -m
  3. The output is arm64 or armv7l — use the matching AppImage.

Required dependencies

Install the required runtime dependencies:

bash
sudo apt install fuse libfuse2 zlib1g-dev

Download and run the AppImage

  1. Go to the Lumicast downloads page and copy the correct download link (arm64 or armv7l).

  2. Open a terminal window.

  3. Download the file:

    bash
    wget <download_url>
  4. Make it executable:

    bash
    chmod +x <filename>
  5. Run it:

    bash
    ./<filename>

The player starts and an autostart entry is created — the player will launch again on boot.
