Hi,
I would like to build update artifacts on the RPi.
The 64 bit linux executable does not run on my RPi 3.
Can I build mender artifact for RPi? or is one already available?

Hi @AstralPresence we do have a debian package for the `mender-artifact` tool which is distributed for `arm`, see [here](https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=mender-artifact) for more information

Sorry for the noob question but how do I go about installing it\> I’m currently running stretch.

```auto
apt update && apt install mender-artifact
```
should do the trick 🙂

ah. i tried that first actually. But I had to add
`deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stretch main`
to my /etc/apt/sources.list and do an apt-update
on stock raspbian, we only have
`deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi`
and that doesnt contain the mender-artifact package.
Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately I’m unable to use the debian package version (really 2.4) to create an application level update artifact. Any suggestions?

Could you be a bit more precise in what you are trying to do/doing? And what the errors are?
🙂

I have an application running on the RPi and I would like to create update artifacts for it on the rpi itself.

Hi @AstralPresence
If you get the source code from [our GitHub](https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender-artifact). Then you can build this (assuming you’ve got Go installed), with:
```auto
GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm go build .
```
Which will get you a binary like:
```auto
➜ mender-artifact git:(6faf8d6) file mender-artifact
mender-artifact: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, Go BuildID=cYM1g4vGT7Foy5AQxHmi/1tOplowVyF0k4NhtKhpF/xzHS_m6LPs8YNtN0zRCi/ALHVROmh200u3-5tfzWI, not stripped
