Installation

Raspberry Pi

The prepared Best Wallet Raspberry Pi release is designed for supported ARM hardware. Confirm your device architecture on the official downloads page, then choose the matching ARM package. The standard route is quick; the advanced route adds signature verification before launch.

Check your Raspberry Pi first

For a usable desktop-wallet experience, use an ARMv7-or-newer CPU, at least 512 MB of RAM, and preferably 1 GB or more with two or more CPU cores. Older ARMv6 models are not suitable for current ARM wallet releases.

Device generationTypical CPU familyRecommendation
Pi 4 / 3 / Zero 2 WARMv8Check the matching 32-bit or 64-bit release
Pi 2ARMv7Use an ARMv7-compatible release if listed
Pi B / B+ / ZeroARMv6Not recommended for current releases

Quick Raspberry Pi install

  1. Open /downloads and select the uploaded package that matches your Pi operating system and CPU architecture.
  2. Make the downloaded file executable from its Properties panel, or run chmod +x best-wallet-*.AppImage.
  3. Open the package. If it does not start, open a terminal in that folder and run the file there to see any missing dependency message.

Advanced: verify the ARM release

Download the matching package, signature, and release key from the official downloads page, then verify the package before you give it access to a wallet file.
