Can't install rsudp

Technical Support

Hello, I am unable to get any conda besides miniforge to work. Is it possible to use miniforge instead or do you have any other ideas? I am on Raspberry Pi OS 32bit on a Raspberry Pi 4B.

Here is the full terminal:


matthew@raspberrypi:~/bin/rsudp $ bash unix-install-rsudp.sh

Where would you like the rsudp output directory to be located? You can use an existing one if you would like.
Press Enter when done (if no input is given, the script will use /home/matthew/rsudp):

I have got it working before but I have no idea why I can’t now

Edit: I just just notice it says ./conda-install.sh: 353: /home/matthew/miniconda3/conda.exe: Exec format error so I have now switched over to the 64bit Raspberry Pi OS and it still says the same thing.

Trying to install Miniconda for aarch64 beforehand does not work either as I get

PREFIX=/home/matthew/miniconda3

Hello Matt,

I remember something similar happened when I tried to install RSUDP on a Pi4 unsuccessfully. I think it was related to the different architecture between Pi3s and Pi4s that somewhat generated the error you are seeing. However, if you installed it before on a Pi4, something else could be in play.

I am not aware of a method to fix this, but I think there is already a ticket open on the main RSUDP GitHub page: Issues · raspishake/rsudp · GitHub You can add there your experience and see what the original developer thinks about it.

Should I get a Raspberry Pi 3 instead for it?

5

As far as I know, Pi3s are fully supported (I have RSUDP running 24/7 on a 3B+), so, yes, I would recommend that as the fastest/easiest solution if you have that board available.

6

Okay, I just ordered one so hopefully it won’t take too long to get here. Thanks for the help!

I did come across what you said doing a ton of googling so I guess there just isn’t any way to do it for now

No problem at all!

Yes, it was a bit hard for me to find out the possible cause too, so I reverted back to a 3B+ that I had unused around the house. Hope you’ll manage without issues when the board arrives!

Hi, i havent been able to resolve my problems with the rpi4, is there an OS that you recommend for rpi 3B+?

9

The standard Raspberry Pi OS (Raspberry Pi OS – Raspberry Pi) should be more than fine. Among all the options, I personally use the

Raspberry Pi OS with desktop and recommended software

from this page Operating system images – Raspberry Pi

It arrived and the software installed without any issues at all!

That’s great to hear Matt! Enjoy!

Hi, is there any difference in compatibility between the 32-bit os and the 64-bit one?

13

Hello Matiro, I would go with 32-bit version, as it has never given me issues in the past. I never tried the 64-bit one, to be complete in my answer.
